The Jackson County grand jury determined there was no foul play in the death of Nolan Wells. The grand jury ruled his death was "consistent" with the conditions for drowning. Jackson County District Attorney McIlrath released the grand jury's report this evening.
Wells and his friends traveled in three boats to Horn Island July 4 for a day of merriment and fun. His friends went back to the mainland that afternoon while Wells remained on the island. Wells' deceased body was found floating in the water later that day. Needless to say, accusations of foul play and Mississippi Burning flew across social media yet again as the race baiters licked their chops.
The grand jury investigated the death as it interviewed 43 witnesses, issued 132 subpoenas, obtained a 261 page Snapchat report, and received a 21 page cellphone report.
The State Medical Examiner found there was no cocaine in the deceased's system nor any evidence he ever used such drugs. The report does not state a BAC level due to the decomposition of the body. However, the report does state Wells obtained alcohol using a fake ID.
The Grand Jury finds no credible evidence to support the public allegations that any persons who rode to or from Hom Island on July 4, 2026, on the Triton, the Palm Beach, or the Tideline engaged in any criminal conduct related to the death of Mr. Wells. The allegations against the occupants of the Triton, the Palm Beach, and the Tideline are not based in truth, and are solely the result of public clamor and private malice. Further, the public clamor and malicious allegations against the occupants of the Triton, the Palm Beach, and the Tideline have extended to their family members and friends. The Grand Jury finds that the public attacks on the occupants of the Triton, the Palm Beach, and the. Tideline, as well as their family and friends, are malicious, false, and ·have no truth in fact or evidence. Both the State of Mississippi Chief Medical Examiner and Dr. -opined that the cause and manner of Mr. Wells' death is undetermined and that drowning is a diagnosis of exclusion. There was bruising on the back of Mr. Wells' head which was not a fatal injury. Further, the Grand Jury found no evidence of any fatal injury or organic disease to Mr. Wells' body. The State of Mississippi's Chief Medical Examiner and Dr. -disagree about the presence of bruising (non-deep tissue) on Mr. Wells' buttocks and shoulder. The Grand Jury considered credible evidence concerning the circumstances of how Mr. Wells sustained the injury to the back of his head, but the exact cause of the injury remains uncertain. A witness testified under oath that he saw Mr. Wells slip awkwardly off the side of a boat around the time of 3:30 p.m. on July 4, 2026, but could not say whether Mr. Wells struck his head during the fall. The witness testified that Mr. Wells continued to socialize after the fall and did not appear injured. The Grand Jury understands that neither forensic expert has ruled out accidental drowning as a cause of Mr. Wells' death. While the Grand Jury found no other evidence to explain the bruising on the back of Mr. Wells' head, or the suspected bruising on his buttocks and shoulder, the Grand Jury cannot say with absolute certainty that this fall caused this bruising.
The grand jury had something to say about the so-called Seatow calls aired by Nancy Grace:
The Grand Jury received the original Sea Tow call made by occupants of the Triton on July 4, 2026. The Grand Jury finds that the various Sea Tow calls and interpretations of the call circulating on the internet and social media are not true and accurate. The Grand Jury finds that Mr. Wells was not in any physical altercation or argument on July 4, 2026.It also was not uncommon for partygoers to arrive and leave on different boats at Horn Island. Although the "internet" said Wells was the only black person on the island that day, the Grand Jury said other blacks were present on the island.
Grand jury: 25 grand jurors but two excused themselves. All jurors were Jackson County Citizens. Ages ranged from 27 to 68. The grand jury consisted of 13 males and 10 females. Demographics: 12 Whites, 5 Blacks, 1 Asian, 2 Hispanics, a Native American, 1 "other."

Fishy....
Go away.
The family was provided video evidence that Nolan bought his own alcohol.
Nothing was deleted from his phone after he last accessed it, according to Crump’s own forensic investigation of the phone.
The family never did turn over the phone, presumably because it would contradict the early claim that Nolan’s aunt accessed the phone and all data was wiped for July 4.
The family was provided the complete autopsy report and toxicology report several weeks ago, and their independent expert was allowed full access.
No reports from Crump about that SeaTow audio recording he was having experts review.
Actually, nothing from Crump to clean up any of the bullshit he so freely spread across the land.
So sad for this young man, we've all made bad decisions. I don't know what to think about all of the people that profited from his accident.
You need to listen to DA statement
