There is just not much news on this. I have seen no TV coverage at all. I "googled" and didn't get many results for it...although there were a few. Thanks for the info on it.

ETA: Fox News finally mentioned it...albeit briefly.

FOX just did a short news break on it.

Yes, it's sad that his life was lost. "He was identified as 44-year-old Cornelius Yates, of Shelbiana in Pike County."

I was saddened to find this out this morning. Bless him and his family and friends. It seems the roof collapses happen a lot more than we realize, which I found out after talking with my SIL. A lot of times it is not a big issue and no one is injured, but sadly it's not the case this time.
