An Oklahoma district attorney said Thursday he doesn’t plan to file any charges in the case of Nex Benedict, the nonbinary 16-year-old Owasso teenager whose death following a fight in a high school bathroom was ruled a suicide.

Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said in a statement that after reviewing the investigation by the Owasso Police Department, he agreed with an assessment from detectives that the fight between the teen and three girls was an “instance of mutual combat” and that charges were not warranted.

    I know someone who OD’d on Benadryl, ended up in a medically induced coma, and barely survived. People most definitely die from Benadryl overdoses. It is in the top 15 of drug overdose deaths. That article also explains that Benadryl is known to be used for intentional drug overdoses.

    I’m not discounting your idea that conservatives are lying and trying to cover up some of the facts about this case, and I am most certainly hoping for some sort of justice for Nex, but this part of your comment is just straight up misinformation.

    Do you somehow have a source on the levels found in their system? That could absolutely make a difference in your claims, but the autopsy report hasn’t been released, yet, so idk where you are getting that.
