A new ABC News report says witnesses told investigators Nolan Wells had been drinking heavily before he disappeared on Horn Island on July 4. However, officials have not determined his cause of death. The official autopsy and toxicology results are still pending, while an independent autopsy listed the death as undetermined pending investigation. Ben Crump and Wells’ family continue to seek full answers.
Viral Facebook posts claiming Warren Hudson was arrested in the Nolan Wells death investigation are false. No arrests have been made, and Hudson has not been named a suspect. Investigators are still waiting for the state coroner’s findings and toxicology report. Officials continue to treat the case as an active investigation, with no confirmed evidence of foul play so far.
Mississippi Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell has warned that a toxicology report circulating online in connection with Nolan Wells' death is fake. Calling the document "fraudulent," Tindell urged the public to stop sharing misinformation and rely only on official updates. He also cautioned that AI and social media make it easier for false information to spread. Authorities have not released an official toxicology report, and the investigation remains ongoing.
