He was last seen alive about a mile away at a four-day 22nd birthday party with friends over the Labor Day weekend that was heavily documented on social media. After almost eight months of silence, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, which is leading the investigation, finally gave its first update since last September, just as the medical examiner revealed his cause of death - but left more questions than answers.

NEW A British tourist who was en route to New York City when his flight was forced into an emergency landing in Maine when he got into a dispute with another passenger before threatening to 'mess up' the plane has been fined $20,000 in a US court. Alexander MacDonald, a 30-year-old from Chelmsford in Essex, was supposed to arrive in Newark Airport on March 1. Authorities said that he refused requests to calm down during his tirade which prompted the landing in Bangor International Airport. MacDonald spent three weeks in police custody until he finally admitted to the charges. District Judge Lance Walker said this week that the suspect would not be required to go back to prison after issuing the fine. The US Attorney's Office said that the altercation began with MacDonald arguing with his girlfriend, who was traveling with him.

Kristi Noem is still doubling down on defending her decision to shoot dead her 14-month-old puppy Cricket and is upping the rhetoric about how 'extremely dangerous' the dog was. Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, the South Dakota Governor claimed that it was most safe to kill the dog because there were 'small kiddos' on the farm that were at risk. Noem, 52, confessed in her upcoming book to killing her family farm dog while her kids were at school. The excerpt was immediately picked up and was viewed and shared widespread online - essentially tanking the Republican's chances of being selected as Donald Trump's vice presidential candidate.

Christopher Gregor, 31, is facing murder charges over the 2021 death of his son Corey Micciolo, with a forensic pathologist previously ruling the boy's death was a homicide via blunt force injuries. Prosecutors allege that Gregor battered and bruised his son causing fatal injuries, and his ongoing trial saw sickening footage of Gregor forcing his son to run on a treadmill as he continually falls off. Claims that the sadistic workout contributed to Corey's death were refuted by Gregor's attorney, who insisted the tragedy had 'absolutely nothing to do with that treadmill.'

Donald Trump turned back to look at one of his top legal aides during a hearing on Thursday morning and shook his head, as his defense lawyer struggled to make his point to an increasingly frustrated judge.

With flowing blonde hair and her cheeky grin, the young royal is every inch the perfect Princess. Wearing a £42 raspberry wool cardigan from Parisian brand Cyrillus teamed with a denim skirt from the same brand, the youngster grinned happily for the picture. And it would appear Charlotte marked a sweet homage to Queen Elizabeth II , as she posed alongside pale pink flowers named in her honour.

California cops wearing face shields and protective vests have now smashed through barricades at UCLA's Gaza encampment after a smaller group of police was forced to retreat by pro-Palestine protesters. The mob initially resisted law enforcement as they chanted 'peaceful protest.' California Highway Patrol officers were then bussed to the campus to lead the charge, clearing away makeshift barricades made out of dumpsters and wooden boards as they marched on the camp. 'Leave the campus, this is a f*****g school. This is a f*****g school, what are you doing, this is a school, we f*****g learn. I got to learn about public health,' one protester shouted.

Veteran Norman Browning, 71, won a court victory last week paving the way for the establishment of the city of St George in response to the 'failing' schools of Baton Rouge. The split has been mired in accusations of racism, with critics pointing out that St George's 86,000 residents will be predominantly wealthy and white, leaving the poorer black population of East Baton Rouge behind. Browning has vehemently denied he is racist, instead arguing the community merely wants to take back control of its education system. Regardless, his idea for a breakaway district was undoubtedly formed while working as a sports coach at a Baton Rouge high school beset by racial tensions and ongoing violence.

A residents' group in the affluent city of Ventura has expressed concerns over plans to set up formal trails in the stunning Mariano Rancho Preserve. Neighbors for the Ventura Hillside say allowing the public access under the plans would be, 'surprisingly and unnecessarily intrusive to residents', SF Gate reports.

A Thunderbirds-style military vehicle designed for unmanned, long-distance underwater missions has completed in-water testing. The Manta Ray prototype uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) completed the full-scale testing off the coast of Southern California over the last three months, according to manufacturer Northrop Grumman.

Although its future missions have not been revealed, Northrop Grumman describe the vehicle as a 'new class of UUV'. It moves through the water using 'efficient, buoyancy-driven gliding' and could reduce need for as much human involvement in underwater missions.

'Immediately after hearing Dan say this to Christopher, [the witness] heard two loud banging noises,' investigators wrote.

The family of a 22-year-old woman killed in a high-speed crash was awarded $8 million after first responders were found to be negligent in taking nearly 90 minutes to find her.

The Herculaneum Scrolls (top and bottom right) contain hugely significant philosophical and literary texts from ancient Greek and Roman scholars, but were turned to carbonized lumps by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Attempts to unroll the scrolls have damaged or destroyed them, turning the precious coal-like relics to dust. Now, scientists are using clever scanning techniques to identify the Greek text written within - without having to unroll the fragile 'papyrus' pages (left). The team has already read one of the scrolls to discover how Greek philosopher Plato spent his last evening 2,500 years ago - but say other huge revelations about Socrates (inset top left) could be in store. Like the city of Pompeii, the Italian town of Herculaneum (inset bottom) was destroyed by the Mount Vesuvius eruption of AD 79.
