PINSON, Tenn. —  Amid rampant speculation about how Noah Chamberlin died, District Attorney General Jerry Woodall released a statement Monday, including the findings of a preliminary autopsy.

Woodall said he released the new information because he wanted to put a rest to all the speculation on social media that foul play was involved.

Many who live in the Pinson community say they hate to see the community that came together to find him, be torn apart by rumors about his death.  “He left behind something that will never be forgotten in our hearts and in our minds,” resident Amanda Maddox said.

Noah’s death is a tragedy that has triggered a lot of speculation but according to Jerry Woodall how Noah died is no longer a mystery. Preliminary autopsy results show Noah succumbed to hypothermia. He was found exactly one week after he disappeared while on a nature hike with his grandmother and 4-year-old sister.

“Noah got done playing so he laid down and took a nap and he woke up in front of his creator,” Chamberlin family spokesperson Andy Morris said. “If you have to pick a way to go, that’s the best way.”

Since the beginning law enforcement have said no foul play was involved but petitions circulating online argue differently. Woodall refuted them in a statement, saying in his opinion “there were no criminal acts.”

“They’re going to think what they’re going to think,” Maddox said. “But it brought closure and a lot of questions were answered.”

The petition also claims Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver was close to the Chamberlin family and shouldn’t have been involved in the investigation, something the D.A. said is also false.

“People are going to talk and you can’t stop that it’s their right,” Morris said. “But it’s our hope that they see the truth and see that this is a much bigger picture than you can speculate from an arm chair.”

A more positive petition is also gaining popularity online proposing to re-name the portion of Highway 45 that runs through Pinson The Noah Chamberlin Memorial Highway all to keep his memory alive.
