Alcohol involved in teen’s death

Alcohol intoxication was a condition related to the death of 16-year-old Reggie Nault on Lake Coeur d'Alene in July, according to a Kootenai County coroner's report released on Friday. "The fact that Reggie died from drowning with alcohol in his system raises as many questions as it answers," Nault's mother Brandi Jones said in a written statement issued by her attorney, Lee James. "Doesn’t this emphasize why a full and complete investigation is necessary, particularly in light of the history of this case? We must learn before we can heal." Nault attended Coeur d'Alene High and played baseball at the school and for the Spokane Dodgers 18U summer club team. He would have been a junior this fall/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press.
