No — Nolan Wells’ official state autopsy results have not been released to the public as of July 30, 2026. Multiple repo
Current Status of the Official Autopsy
The Mississippi State Medical Examiner completed the official autopsy on July 7, 2026, but the results have not been made public.
Officials state the report will be presented to a grand jury once the broader investigation is finished.
The family and their attorney, Ben Crump, have not yet seen the official findings.
Independent Autopsy Findings (Released by Family)
While the state report remains sealed, the family commissioned an independent autopsy:
Cause and manner of death: “Undetermined pending investigation.”
Red discoloration on the back of the head noted, but no fractures or deep tissue injuries found.
Significant limitations due to decomposition and missing organs/structures from the prior official autopsy.
Toxicology was not included in the independent autopsy; state toxicology results are still pending.
As of the latest reporting, only the independent autopsy results have been released, and they do not determine a cause of death. The official state autopsy results remain unreleased, with authorities indicating they will be reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
