  "summary": "A grand jury has declined to indict anyone in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, who disappeared during a boat trip with friends on Horns Island, Mississippi, on July 4. His body was recovered two days later.\n\nAccording to NPR, the grand jury found Wells' cause of death to be consistent with drowning. The Hindustan Times reported that the grand jury's decision rejected speculations that race played a part in Wells' death.\n\nThe lawyer representing Wells' family stated that the grand jury's decision not to indict anyone does not resolve the circumstances of his death, as reported by ABC News AU.",
