Inquiry into man’s death on Hawaii island started; no foul play suspected

Hawaii County police have initiated a coroner’s inquest case in connection with a body found in the Hawaiian Acres subdivision on Saturday.

A man had been cleaning up his property on Road G following a Halloween party, when he discovered a body along the northeast corner of his property, police said. The victim, who has not been identified, had last been seen walking in the area of the Halloween party.

Detectives have ruled out foul play after preliminary results of an autopsy conducted Tuesday, but are awaiting results on toxicology findings for a determination of the cause of death.

The victim is described as Caucasian, in his mid- to late-20s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 145 pounds with medium-length wavy dark brown hair, a light complexion, a mustache and goatee. He was wearing a black trench coat, black “Metal Mulisha” board shorts and has piercings in his lower lip.

Police ask anyone with information about this incident or anyone who may know the identity of the victim to call the Police Department’s nonemergency line at 935-3311 or contact Detective Dean Uyetake at 961-2379 or duytetake@co.hawaii.hi.us.
