Police have identified the victim as David Kositsky, 70, of Washington state.
Around noon Friday, first responders were dispatched to Anini Beach Park on Kauai’s North Shore in response to a swimmer in distress. Kositsky is believed to have been snorkeling with friends, who notified a lifeguard that he was missing after they were unable to locate him, according to a preliminary report.
An Ocean Safety Bureau lifeguard found Kositsky, responded unconscious in the water and brought him to shore. Police said CPR was administered until medics arrived and took over with advanced CPR efforts.
Kositsky was rushed to Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy is being conducted to determine the exact cause of death. According to the police, there is no foul play.
