Nolan Wells' Missing Throat Raises New Questions About His Tragic Death

The pathologist who carried out an independent autopsy on Nolan Wells revealed that a crucial part of his body was missing — which hindered his ability to make a ruling on his cause of death.

Wells’ body did not have a throat following the official post-mortem conducted by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office, Dr. Roger Mitchell, the former chief medical examiner for Washington, DC, said.

“It is assumed that the initial pathologist retained these structures for additional evaluation,” he wrote.
