Mabil's initial autopsy by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office identified his death as a drowning, but the manner of death remains undetermined. No signs of trauma were found, although ethanol was detected in his liver tissue.

Council members have created a priority list for their wards. Paving projects are expected to start in late August. For updates, follow WCBI on Facebook and Twitter.
