JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – Authorities have identified the man killed in the tornado that hit east Mississippi as 28-year-old Carlos Madrigal of Blue Mountain.

Kemper County Coroner Terry Bostick says authorities are awaiting the results of an autopsy before releasing a cause of death.

Bostick says Madrigal was at Contract Fabricators Inc. north of DeKalb when the tornado hit Thursday.

The business was hit hard. A tall metal building was left in ruins and a tractor trailer was twisted and overturned. Debris was strewn through nearby woods.

The tornado injured several people in Kemper and Noxubee counties.

Authorities say storm damage assessments are continuing Friday.
