Calif. man dies while
snorkeling in Maui
WAILUKU, Hawaii — Authorities say an Oakland, Calif., man has died while snorkeling in Hawaii.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that Maui fire officials identified Son Vo, 41, as a missing snorkeler found earlier this week.
Fire Capt. Bram Denhaan says Vo was last seen Wednesday afternoon going into the water off Kaanapali in a snorkel and mask, but no fins.
Denhaan says friends reported him missing a few hours later.
A search helicopter located Vo’s body Thursday morning about 70 feet from the shoreline, just north of cliffs known as Black Rock, Denhaan said.
Police say there were no signs of foul play.
The Chronicle says a longtime Contra Costa Times reporter and California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesman also died while snorkeling in the same area in July.
