Advertiser Staff

LIHU'E, Kaua'i — A Mainland laboratory has confirmed that human remains found May 7 on an east Kaua'i beach are those of a Kapa'a High School student who disappeared while swimming nearby on May 6.

John Dacuycuy was swimming with friends when a current and surf dragged him away. Rescue divers searched the area around Kawailoa for days, and searchers discovered possible human remains along the shore the day after his disappearance.

"The remains were determined to be those of 17-year-old John Dacuycuy," the police department reported today.
