Re: Media Ran With Claim That `Nonbinary' Teen Died From `Brain Trauma' Caused By Bullies. It Was Actually A Drug Overdose.

A medical examiner has determined that the death of Oklahoma "nonbinary"
teenager Nex Benedict, which became a national news story based on media
suggestions that the teen died from a beating by bullies, actually died from
an intentional drug overdose.
 In a statement, the Owasso Police Department said it waited to release the
cause of death until the toxicology report was completed, KJRH reported. That
toxicology report indicates that Benedict died by suicide, the result of an
overdose of Diphenhydramine and Fluoxetine, or, Benadryl and Prozac.
 "From the beginning of this investigation, Owasso Police observed many
indications that this death was the result of suicide," the police statement
said. "However, investigators did not wish to confirm that information
without the final results being presented by the Oklahoma Medical Examiners
Office."
 The original narrative surrounding Benedict's death was that the teen died as
a result of a beating from three girls who had been bullying Benedict and
Benedict's friends. Teen Vogue reported
