0:55Now PlayingThe Oklahoma teen who died the day after a fight inside their school bathroom sent a series of texts to a family member that described the beating, according to a report.
Nex Benedict, 16, who was non-binary, according to their grandmother, messaged the unidentified relative to tell of the attack by a group of girls.
“I got jumped at school, 3 on 1, had to go to ER,” the teen wrote on February 7, according to Fox 23.
Benedict indicated at the time the damage was manageable.
“All good, just scraped and bruises,” the sophomore responded when asked if they were OK. “Got a shot in the butt for my pain but I’m still dizzy and nauseous in the morning. I might have a concussion.”
“They had been bullying me and my friends and I got tired of it so I poured some water on them and all 3 came after me. School did not report it and is probably going to getting sued,” the texts continued.
Benedict was released from the hospital that same day, but collapsed the following morning and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
