Challenges in the independent autopsy included the body's decomposition and the fact that the initial Mississippi medical examiner's autopsy removed Wells' organs and neck structures, preventing examination for neck injuries or water in the lungs. Wells, who was Black, disappeared after traveling to a Mississippi island with white friends on July 4, who later returned to the mainland without him, and his body was later discovered floating off the coast. The case has drawn national attention and calls for transparency from local authorities, with Rev. Al Sharpton questioning why Wells' friends left him and why investigators prematurely suggested no foul play, while a $125,000 reward is offered for information.
