The Autopsy results for Noah Presgrove, who was found dead along an Oklahoma Highway, were delivered to his family one day after NewsNation pushed for answers at the state’s medical examiner’s office.
There, we got information that he suffered multiple blunt force injuries, though law enforcement hasn’t signed off on an official cause of death. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol also announced that they are not investigating Presgrove’s death as a murder.
Further, police allegedly told Presgrove’s family earlier that they have several suspects in mind, although they haven’t disclosed details about possible suspects.
Presgrove was 19 years old and was found lying dead, wearing nothing but shoes, along a rural stretch of U.S. 81 in Jefferson County, Oklahoma, on Labor Day in 2023. His family says that the teen had a caved-in skull, a road rash on his hip, a gravel rash on his shoulder, multiple bruises, and scattered teeth.
He was last seen alive while attending a party with his group of friends.
Presgrove completed his graduation from Comanche High School and had plans to join the army before he went missing after the multi-day party.
At the funeral home, Presgrove’s body was severely bruised and swollen, with his nose and cheek appearing broken, according to Presgrove’s aunt Robyn Smith.
Robyn Smith said “they didn’t think that this was from a vehicle, there was no indication of any kind of injuries to the lower half of his body”.
Only one shoe found at the scene belonged to Presgrove, while the other belonged to a friend, the family said. Investigators stated the injuries did not seem consistent with being struck by a vehicle.
Moreover, Rumors have circulated across the community, with some suspecting the involvement of Presgrove’s best friend, Jack Newton, and his father.
Newton was at the party the night Presgrove died and was one of the first people at the site of his death the morning his body was discovered.
