The Medical Examiner has determined that the two people that died off Kaaawa last week drowned.

They were in a kayak off Kaaawa when that vessel flipped. There were two children that were rescued, 5-year-old Alaric Chiu and 63-year-old Maria Davis were unresponsive when rescuers got to them.

Chiu was a student at St. Andrew’s School and was attending a Spring Break program that was run by Mid Pacific Institute.
