The identity of a man found dead in a home damaged by a tornado in Kankakee County has been released. Friday morning, the Kankakee County Sheriff's Office identified the victim as 65-year-old Maurice r.
Norington. The coroner's office said he had injuries consistent with injuries as a result of the storm. Norington's body was found inside a damaged home on Oakwood Drive in Aroma Park by employees of a service company working in the area, the Kankakee County Sheriff's Office said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and neighbors of Mr. Norington," said Sheriff Mike Downey. "Our law enforcement and other first responders have had an incredibly difficult job to do since Tuesday evening's devastating storms. I am extremely proud of their efforts up to this point and applaud them for their continued work as we attempt to move forward. I want to remind area residents in the impacted areas to continue to check on your loved ones and neighbors until everyone is completely accounted for." The victim's next-door neighbor told ABC7 that a crew was clearing debris off of his roof on Thursday afternoon when they spotted his neighbor inside his home. "The whole thing we were all holding on to was, even though our houses are damaged, everybody was OK. So, the fact that our neighbor isn't OK, that's hard," said Tom Ascher. "He was a nice guy. He was very quiet. We interacted a few times as we were working on each other's yards, always nice to me, my family. Always called me 'young man.'"Kankakee Co. cleans up damage left by EF-3 tornado; several injuredROTC students subdued and killed ODU gunman, officials say
