Police are investigating an unattended death after receiving a report of a 41-year-old woman falling to her death.
The woman’s body was found Thursday morning at the base of a cliff near the old Hakalau mill, an area frequented by fisherman. Her name is being withheld pending notification of her family.
According to a written Fire Department statement, five units, including a county helicopter, responded to the 10:40 a.m. alarm, with the chopper finding the woman’s body along the shoreline beneath a cliff at Opihi Point.
After the body was flown from the shoreline to a landing zone, police assumed the investigation.
An autopsy has been scheduled for Friday morning to determine the cause of her death.
Police say someone was in the area who reportedly assisted after the fact by seeking help for the victim. Detectives would like to identify and interview this individual.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the police non-emergency line at 935-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 961-8300.
