Visitors who died in apparent drownings identified

The Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the two visitors who apparently drowned in two separate incidents this week.

Richard Park, 47, was swimming at the Three Tables beach in Haleiwa Wednesday when he was found unresponsive at 4:40 p.m. He died at the scene.

The Medical Examiner’s Office also said that Hiroo Ando, 59, of Tokyo, Japan, who was found unconscious in the Hawaii Village lagoon Tuesday, drowned. Ando was taken in critical condition to Straub Medical Center where he died.

Park, of Culver City, Calif., apparently drowned Wednesday near where Stuart McPherson, 60, of Castle Pine, Colo., drowned while snorkeling at Three Tables Beach a day earlier.
