Source: Public Radio Tulsa

Authorities have released the full autopsy report for Nex Benedict.

Benedict, a nonbinary 16-year-old Owasso High School student, died by suicide the day after a fight in a school bathroom with three girls who reportedly picked on them for how they dressed. Benedict told police they threw water on the girls, and that a fight broke out ending with the girls beating them on the floor until they were unconscious.

The medical examiner’s report shows a combination of prescription and over-the-counter medications in Benedict’s system at the time of their death. The report also says Benedict suffered from depression, anxiety and self-harm.

"Handwritten notes that are suggestive of self- harm were found in the decedent’s room by family and provided to law enforcement," the report reads.
