Postby sloan » Mon May 16, 2005 8:36 am

Anyone know anything about this? I was there yesterday but didn't hear or see anything...?

Tourist dies on beach outing

Advertiser Staff

A 63-year-old man visiting from Germany died yesterday after being brought unconscious from the water off Ke Iki Beach on the North Shore.

The man was pronounced dead at Kahuku Hospital at 4:54 p.m., more than an hour after he was brought to shore by witnesses. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

North Shore Capt. Bodo Vanderleeden of the city's Ocean Safety/Lifeguard Division said the incident occurred at a beach without lifeguards. Witnesses said the man was overcome by a wave, Vanderleeden said. City lifeguards from two nearby beaches as well as city paramedics from Kahuku and firefighters responded.


This is weird, there was a near drowning in Aina Hina too.

A near drowning happened almost two hours later near Kawaikui Beach Park in the Aina Haina/Niu Valley area.

Witnesses say a 70-year-old man was fishing. A short time later they noticed him floating in the water.

He's at The Queen's Medical Center in critical condition.
