Hawai‘i Island police are requesting public assistance in identifying a deceased man who was discovered in an unfinished structure on Ali‘i Drive in Kona earlier this year.

The man, who is believed to have been in his 40s and deceased for several weeks prior to discovery, is described as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium-to-thin build.

Foul play is not suspected at this time, however detectives have been actively investigating the case for months and alternative methods of identification have been unsuccessful to date.

In addition, the circumstances of the body’s discovery and its appearance do not appear consistent with any known missing persons.

Police ask anyone with information regarding this case to contact Detective Joel Furuto at (808) 326-4646 ext. 281 or via email joel.furuto@hawaiipolice.gov.
