SUMMARY: Donald Triplett, the first person diagnosed with autism, has died aged 89. Triplett was diagnosed by child psychiatrist Dr. Leo Kanner in 1938 after being committed to a state institution due to developmental delays. He learned to live successfully with autism, graduating from high school and earning a bachelor's degree in French from Millsaps College. He later worked at his family's bank and traveled throughout the world.

SUMMARY: Severe weather in Mississippi on May 12-13 caused one fatality and property damage, according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). Patricia Williamson, 68, from Sicily Island, LA, died when the vehicle she was in hit a tree in Wilkinson County. Another individual was injured in Lawrence County. Damages were reported in Jefferson Davis (5 homes), Lincoln (3 homes), and Smith (1 home, 5 businesses) Counties. With roads still blocked by fallen trees, MEMA advises residents to submit insurance claims and report damage through their online tool.

SUMMARY: Doug Barron, a golf journeyman, claimed his first PGA Tour Champions major by winning the Regions Tradition in Birmingham, Alabama, after a subdued career following his 1992 graduation from Mississippi State. He finished at 17-under 271, outpacing Steven Alker and legends like Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington. Barron, who also runs a golf academy, faced a low point in 2009 when the PGA suspended him for doping—a ban lifted in 2010 after a legal dispute. Since joining the senior circuit in 2019, Barron, 54, has surpassed his career PGA Tour earnings, totaling over $4.2 million.

SUMMARY: Karen Waldrup, a Southern Miss alumnus and Mandeville, Louisiana native, delivered a heartfelt performance of Sugarland's “Stay” on NBC's The Voice. The show's theme required the remaining nine contestants to dedicate a song to their hometown and its people. Waldrup's rendition earned high praise from her coaches, Dan + Shay, who believed it demonstrated her versatility and emotional connection. In addition, Waldrup teamed up with Tae Lewis and Josh Sanders to perform Bob Dylan's “Forever Young” from the movie IF. Fans anticipated the results the following Tuesday night to see if Waldrup would advance to the top five.
