Man dies in waters off Kahala

A local fisherman in his 50s died last night after he was pulled from waters off Kahala, according to an Emergency Medical Services supervisor.

Fire Capt. Emmit Kane said the man was shoreline fishing in Kahala with two other men near a public access at Hunakai Street in Kahala. One of the men disappeared, and the other two thought they saw him in the water, so they jumped in to look for him, Kane said.

The three became separated, and one of the men swam to shore and called for help at about 7:40 p.m., Kane said. Fire rescue personnel found one of the men 200 yards offshore inside the breakers, Kane said.

The man, in his 40s, had swallowed a lot of water and nearly drowned, but his vital signs were good and he was in serious condition, the EMS supervisor said.

Fire rescue personnel found the other man underwater at 8:40 p.m. He was pulled from the water unconscious and airlifted to Hunakai Park, where rescue personnel attempted to revive him. He was taken to the Queen's Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, the EMS supervisor said.
