A man whose body firefighters brought to shore before paramedics pronounced his death at 9:45 p.m has been confirmed as 45-year-old Dean Hūhane,45, of Kaneohe.
A medical examiner’s office in Hawaii said the victim was apparently drowned after his body was found in Laniakea Beach Tuesday 20, Hawaii Star Advertiser reports.
Autopsies will be conducted to determine cause of his death, it said.
His older brother Tokolahi Hūhane told Kaniva News family members will travel from Tonga to Hawaii to attend Dean’s funeral this week.
The deceased came from Kahoua in Tongatapu.
