Come on, Harvey.

For NPR News, I'm Elise Gregg in Jackson, Mississippi.
There's been a lot of speculation, and state officials haven't announced a cause of death yet.
They say the medical examiner is still waiting on a toxicology report to finalize the autopsy.
In the meantime, civil rights attorney Ben Crump called for an independent autopsy.
He said he's holding a press conference in Harlem, New York City, with Reverend Al Sharpton and Wells' family.
Good morning.
So right now, what we kind of understand from the investigation and what we're seeing online is that Wells was the only friend in his group who didn't return from that Independence Day trip to Horn Island.
A lot of attention is on the fact that it looks like he was the only black friend in a group of mostly white teenagers on the island that day.
Now, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office is investigating this as a death, not a homicide, per press release.
So right now, a lot of the details that we're seeing are coming from social media, like a video showing an argument that took place on the island, a mom of one of Wells' friends saying Wells chose to stay on the island when his friends left.
