The venue itself holds a total of 1,500 concertgoers, with the show on Friday being sold out.The man killed in the incident has been identified as Fred Livingston Jr, and was described by Dan Zaccard – Boone County’s emergency management director – as a 50-year-old man.

In a news conference given yesterday (April 1), Zaccard said: “He was under the debris. He was already gone.”Belvidere fire chief Shawn Schadle noted that around 40 other attendees were treated for injuries, with two having suffered life-threatening injuries.

A search-and-rescue effort was launched promptly by the city’s fire department, with Alicia Tate-Nadeau (director of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency) saying that “if it wasn’t for their quick actions, and the fact that they were planning for this storm and were prepared, things could’ve looked a lot different”.In a new statement shared on social media, Morbid Angel shared their “deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the individual who tragically lost their life” on Friday night.
