Police had still not questioned a 31-year-old man described as a “;person of interest”; yesterday in the death of a 25-year-old tourist in Waikiki.

Aaron M. Susa remained in the hospital yesterday after he was taken into custody Monday evening, police spokesman Maj. Clayton Kau said.

Susa complained of feeling ill after he was found in bushes near Lunalilo and Liholiho streets in Makiki on Monday night. Police found Susa after receiving a call about a suspicious man in the area.

Susa had been seen with Bryanna Antone, a college student who was on a birthday trip to Hawaii, before her nude body was discovered Friday morning in the water off Waikiki Beach. They were seen leaving the Waikiki Ohana West hotel together at about 1:40 a.m.

The Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii is holding a Mass for Antone today at noon at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, 1184 Bishop St.
