Advertiser Staff
The bodies of a man and woman were recovered yesterday in waters off Lahilahi Beach in Makaha.
Police Lt. Frank Pugliese said two surfers brought the body of the woman ashore and called police at 2:55 p.m. A police helicopter spotted the man's body floating in the water 35 to 45 minutes later, leading to its recovery.
Fishing equipment belonging to the pair was recovered on a rocky point near the park, said Pugliese.
There was no evidence of foul play, police said.
The city Department of the Medical Examiner has identified Kaleo'okalani Joseph Peltier, 20, as the man who was killed Monday morning when his moped collided with a milk delivery truck near the McDonald's restaurant in Wai'anae.
Police traffic investigators have said that Peltier was headed toward Makaha when the truck, headed the other way, made a left turn in front of him.
The 54-year-old man driving the dairy truck was not injured.
