As Nolan Wells’ family continues seeking answers about his death, I think of my uncle, Reverend A.D. King, my father’s only brother. Uncle A.D. was found dead in his swimming pool in July 1969. Fifty-seven years later, my family still carries unanswered questions about the circumstances of his death. There are details that make Nolan’s family’s questions painfully familiar. Both were strong swimmers. Uncle A.D. had a bruised forehead and no water in his lungs. Nolan also had bruising on his head and no water in his lungs or airways. His cause and manner of death remain undetermined. I pray Nolan’s family receives a thorough, transparent investigation and the answers they deserve. I pray they do not have to live with decades of unanswered questions as my family has. Grief is already a heavy burden. Families deserve truth, and their loved ones deserve to be remembered for the fullness of their lives. #NolanWells #ADKing
