Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond has commented on Nex Benedict's death.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond @Okla_OAG · 16h As a parent and grandparent, my heart breaks for the tragic death of the Owasso student. Because investigators are still working to determine what precipitated this tragedy and the student's cause of death, it is too early to jump to conclusions. (contd.) Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond @Okla_OAG What is clear, however, is that our children are precious and should not have to endure the cruelty of others, especially when they are in school. Bullying must not be tolerated in any form. (2/2)

god it’s so hard for me to read news about Nex Benedict but I’m glad there’s at least some degree of acknowledgement of Owasso Public Schools’ role in his death

I spent the last week emailing with Owasso Public Schools about Nex Benedict's death. It went about as well as you'd expect.

What Marisa got out of the Owasso Police spokesperson doesn't reflect well on that particular guy, or on the Owasso police.

But... it also doesn't reflect well on journalism The POLICE SPOKESPERSON is so unfamiliar with what reporters do that he thinks only official statements are on the record?

NEW: An Owasso cop hung up on me when I tried to ask questions about the department's troubling interpretation of the Medical Examiner's preliminary report on Nex Benedict's cause of death.

Short version? It's the media's fault.

Our full convo here: www.thehandbasket.co/p/nex-benedi...
KABAS: Ok, I see what you're saying. I just wanted to touch on something quickly you mentioned. Did you say that your conversation with the reporter was off the record? BOATMAN: Yeah, I don't remember which one that was. [Editor’s note: It was with Judd Legum at Popular Info]. What I mean is like, I'm trying—they want a statement, so I give them a statement, and then like you're doing to ask questions, and I'm trying to explain the process. But that's between me and you. Like, I'm trying to explain the process. That's not our official statement that that reporter put all that in the paper, what I was trying to explain to him. And I was like, “Dude, why’d you do that to me? Now I'm not gonna wanna talk to you ever again.” KABAS: Right, but you know our conversation right now is on the record. You understand that, right? BOATMAN: Yeah, I get that. And if that's the way it's gonna be, then I'll give you our official statement and that's all you'll get. If you don't want my backchannel—

! The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights has launched an investigation into Owasso Public Schools—where Nex Benedict attended—after the Human Rights Campaign alleged the “district discriminated against students by failing to respond appropriately to sex-based harassment.”

holy SHIT at this update popular.info/p/nex-benedi...
It is not a normal practice of the Owasso Police to release "piecemeal" information regarding the cause of death before the medical examiner issues a report, Boatman said. But, in this case, Boatman told Popular Information that the Owasso Police "reached out to the medical examiner's office to try to head off some of this national scrutiny." As the case gained more attention, the school reportedly received at least one threat that was deemed credible. Boatman said the medical examiner did not explicitly tell him that Nex "did not die from something as a result of that fight." But that's how Boatman interpreted the medical examiner's comments. Boatman also said the medical examiner "emphasized they are waiting for toxicology," which Boatman interpreted as "kind of a red flag." Boatman said he is "assuming when I get that [toxicology report] back, something's going to be there."

Have seen virtually no one talking about this here but a 16 year old nonbinary kid was murdered at their high school in Owasso, Oklahoma for being trans. This is after LibsofTikTok has been targeting OPS. Owasso is not an hour away from my house in Tulsa.
