No charges will be filed in connection to the fight that happened the day before Nex Benedict, a nonbinary high school student, died by suicide in Oklahoma, the district attorney investigating the case said Thursday. The fight in the high school bathroom appeared to be an 'instance of mutual combat,' Stephen Kunzweiler, Tulsa County district attorney, said in a statement announcing his decision not to charge anyone.
But days later, police said the fight was not being ruled out as having contributed to or caused Nex's death. A report from the medical examiner's office said the probable cause of death was 'combined toxicity' from two drugs. According to the district attorney's office release, both were legally available in Nex's home.
