Unraveling the Mystery: What Was the Cause of Wisdom Williams’ Death?
When anyone dies suddenly and without explanation, it leaves behind many unanswered questions. This was the case when 16-year-old Wisdom Williams was found lifeless in her family’s apartment in Brooklyn, New York on November 11, 2019. The authorities were quick to rule it a suicide by hanging, but the family refused to believe it.
The community also rallied behind the family in their quest for answers. The case gained national attention, and people across various platforms, including social media, rallied to bring attention to the case. Many people pointed out inconsistencies in Williams’ death and questioned several aspects of the investigation. Family, friends, and community members all wanted to know what really happened and what could have led to her untimely death.
Was it really a suicide?
From the very beginning, the family had doubted the suicide ruling by the authorities. Williams’ mother, Veronica Teekah, stated that her daughter was happy and had no history of depression or suicidal ideation. Additionally, there was no suicide note found, and the rope that was used was not available in the apartment. Moreover, there were several bruises on Williams’ body that indicated she had been struggling.
The family hired an independent pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, to perform a second autopsy. Baden agreed with Williams’ family’s suspicions and ruled that the cause of death was undetermined. Baden found more injuries on Williams’ body than the investigators had originally reported, which suggested that she had been in a physical altercation before her death.
What other theories exist?
Apart from the suicide ruling, there were several other theories floating around. One of the most prominent was that Williams had become a victim of sex trafficking. Williams had been seen with a 31-year-old man, who was later revealed to be a person of interest, on several occasions before her death. The man’s car was also captured on surveillance footage near the family’s apartment. Additionally, several text messages were recovered from William’s phone, which suggested that she had been meeting strange men for sex in exchange for money.
Another theory was that someone had killed Williams, and the suicide scene was staged to make it look like she had committed suicide. Williams’ mother even accused a building super of being involved in Williams’ death, but there was no concrete evidence linking anyone to her death.
What have the authorities said about the case?
The NYPD has faced criticism from both the family and community members for mishandling the case. Many people accused the police of not doing enough to find out what happened to Williams. The police, on the other hand, insisted that all standard procedures were followed and that there was no evidence of foul play.
After a year-long investigation, the NYPD officially closed the case in early 2021, maintaining that Williams’ death was a suicide. The decision disappointed many people who had been hoping for a more conclusive outcome.
Conclusion
In the end, the mystery surrounding Williams’ death remains unsolved, and the family still doesn’t have closure. While the authorities concluded that it was a suicide, the family, along with several others in the community, have continued to hold onto their doubts. The case serves as a reminder of the flaws in the justice system and the need for more transparency and accountability.
