Advertiser Staff

Kaua'i police are working to determine the cause of death of a man found at the bottom of a small waterfall off of a trail near Princeville. Kaua'i officials said no foul play is suspected in the death of the Caucasian male.

A tourist walking on a trail off of Wyllie Road in Princeville about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday came upon a motionless body at the foot of a 10-foot waterfall. The visitor called 911 to report the discovery, with firefighters from the Hanalei fire station responding and verifying the person was dead.

Police are contacting the dead man's relatives before they release his identity.
