Honolulu officials recovered the body of an unidentified man Sunday afternoon behind the Sunset Beach fire station, a fire department spokesman said. 

A bystander reported to fire personnel at the station that he saw a body along the rocky shoreline around 1 p.m., fire Capt. Carlton Yamada said.

Fire crews checked on the man’s vitals and reported to police and Emergency Medical Services that he appeared to be dead, Yamada said. 

Fire crews were released while police conducted an investigation and were called back around 2:45 p.m. to remove the body, Yamada said. 

An EMS supervisor confirmed that the man, who appeared to be in his 30s or 40s, was dead upon their arrival. 

Yamada said his firefighters reported no apparent signs of assault, and police located identification on the body.
