Kauaʻi officials believe the death of a 74-year-old Kalāheo man whose body was found Wednesday near Nōmilu Fishpond is related to the storm surge from Hurricane Lowell Monday night, according to a county news release.

First responders were dispatched to the relatively remote South Shore area Tuesday morning after receiving reports of a missing person. The Kaua‘i police and fire departments, along with the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, conducted a search but did not find him, the release says.

The victim was found deceased at approximately 12:45 p.m. Wednesday, the release says.

Foul play is not suspected. An autopsy is pending to confirm the exact cause of death. The investigation remains ongoing, the release says.

Friends and relatives have identified the man as Steven Palama, KITV reported.

Hurricane Lowell sideswiped Kauaʻi Monday night, knocking out power to nearly the entire island and causing an estimated $400 million in damage, Gov. Josh Green told Hawaiʻi News Now.

Palama’s death is the second attributed to the storm. An Oʻahu man was killed Monday evening after a large tree trunk fell on his tent in a Waimānalo park.

Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative had restored power to 25% of the island as of Wednesday afternoon as damage assessments continued.

Nōmilu Fishpond has been cared for by generations of the same Hawaiian family since Philip Palama purchased it more than a century ago.

In 1992, Hurricane Iniki’s 145-mile-per-hour winds inundated the 60-acre property with debris.
