Murder at MacKenzie
#1
Police say a decomposed body found Saturday in Mackenzie State Recreation Area in lower Puna was that of a gunshot victim.

Officers responded to the park shortly after 4 p.m. Saturday after a fisherman reported locating a body on the rocks near the shore break.

The body was located about 15 feet down a cliff and firefighters rappelled to retrieve the decomposing remains, police said.


A forensic pathologist who performed an autopsy Tuesday concluded that the victim died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head, and the manner of death was ruled homicide.


A police release did not specify the gender of the victim, and due to the advanced stage of decomposition, positive identification is pending.

Sad story.  Here's a pic I found online. Sometimes helps to connect a face with a name and be able to mourn the loss.
