The tragic death and disappearance of Nolan Wells have left a lot of questions in people's minds.
Now, his family says they are preparing for his funeral, but it just doesn't feel real to them that the loving and talented teen is no more.
The 18-year-old's death, who hailed from Mississippi, remains under active investigation. Sources from local media outlets shared more about how he vanished during a Fourth of July boat trip with pals to the remote Horn Island.
His remains were found in the surrounding waters two days later, but an official cause of death was yet to be determined. Nolan's mother shared her pain through a post on social media. This is where she mentioned that planning her son's funeral is surreal, and she never wishes any parent to go through what she is going through right now.
It was revealed that the family has sought a private autopsy and rolled out an independent investigation to figure out what exactly went wrong, as they have serious questions about the case.
