LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - The Calcasieu Parish Coroner's Office has identified a construction worker who died after a frame wall fell on him.

Chief investigator Zeb Johnson said Wednesday that 32-year-old Jose Morales and another man were rushed to Lake Charles Memorial Hospital Tuesday. Johnson said it appeared that winds shifted the wall and caused it to fall.

Morales was pronounced dead on arrival at the emergency room. The other man is reportedly in serious condition.
