A British citizen is one of 14 people who were killed when a man drove a truck into crowds celebrating the New Year in New Orleans.
The city’s coroner said the preliminary cause of death for the British citizen was blunt force injuries.
Their identity has been temporarily withheld at the request of the family “pending finalisation of international arrangements”.
Dozens of people were also injured when 42-year-old army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s rented truck rammed into people in New Orleans’ famous Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
A senior FBI official has said the attack was “premeditated” and an “evil” act of terrorism, and said Jabbar was “100% inspired by ISIS”, also known as Islamic State.
