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.

SUMMARY: Columbus, Mississippi, plans to pave more streets after receiving a bid nearly $1 million below the estimated $6 million budget. Lower asphalt prices contributed to the cost savings.

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.
