Autoridades de Mississippi dicen que adolescente se ahogó tras salida del 4 de julio

Las autoridades de Mississippi declararon que la muerte del joven de 18 años, Nolan Wells, cuyo cuerpo fue recuperado en la isla Horn tras la salida en barco del 4 de julio, probablemente se debió a un ahogamiento accidental, a la espera de los resultados de la autopsia estatal. El adolescente fue reportado como desaparecido el 4 de julio y el cuerpo hallado fue identificado como el de Wells. Su madre confirmó el fallecimiento y la familia contrató al abogado de derechos civiles Ben Crump para ayudar en la investigación.

El funeral en Ocean Springs contó con la presencia de cientos de personas y fue oficiado por el reverendo Al Sharpton. Una autopsia independiente no pudo determinar la causa ni la manera de la muerte, y los resultados toxicológicos de la autopsia estatal siguen pendientes. Informes iniciales señalaron consumo elevado de alcohol y corrientes peligrosas en la zona.
