A misconduct investigation involving Christine Wells Wonsley, the mother of Nolan Wells, has officially been closed by the Mississippi Board of Nursing following an anonymous complaint.
According to WLOX, Wonsley said she had never received a complaint from patients throughout her nursing career prior to her son’s death. The investigation stemmed from an anonymous complaint filed with the Board of Nursing. Officials have since closed the matter.
Ben Crump Calls Complaint an Attempt at Intimidation
Attorney Ben Crump said in a statement Wednesday that he believes the complaint was intended to intimidate Wonsley while she continues to seek answers about her son’s death.
“This is a warning shot at a grieving mother, meant to pressure and scare her into staying quiet,” Crump said.
“It is a distraction, it is intimidation, and we will not let it stand. Christine had part of her identity stolen from her the day Nolan died. Now, someone is trying to take another piece of it. This cruelty knows no bounds.”
Wonsley Says Nolan’s Death Investigation Continues
Following the closure of the nursing investigation, Wonsley addressed the outcome in a Facebook post.
“This definitely has added more hurt to an already devastating time because I love my job and I love my patients,” she wrote.
She also emphasized that the investigation into her son’s death has not concluded.
“NOLAN’S CASE IS STILL ONGOING.”
While the Board of Nursing has closed its investigation into Wonsley, the separate investigation surrounding Nolan Wells’ death remains active.
