The death toll from Thursday evening's terror attack in Nice, France has risen to 84, among them an Austin-area father and his son.

According to a report from the Austin American-Statesman, Sean Copeland, 51, and his 11-year-old son, Brodie, were among the lives taken when Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, 31, from Tunisia, drove a truck through a crowd during France's Bastille Day celebration. The father and son were in Nice on a family vacation.

Sean Copeland was the vice president for North and South America for Lexmark Corporation's Kapow Software Division.
