Mystery surrounds divers' death."It's a complete mystery to me." Those are the words of Dr. George Hiakawa, Chief Medical Examiner for the Kauai Coroner's Office when asked about how a popular shell diver, Tiki Kalani, had died. "Whomever or whatever killed him, left only his skeleton. All the soft tissues, brain, eyes, intestines, muscles, tendons - everything was gone. I don't know of any marine organism that could do that. It must have been some kind of monster."
Tiki Kalani was an avid shell diver. Many of his rare shells were used in island jewelry. His brother, Danny, found his remains off the west coast of Ni'ihau. "I was shocked when I found his skull and arms sticking out of the sand," recalled Danny. "Hawaiian Fish and Game divers dug his bones out of the bottom. It was a gruesome sight. I couldn't stop crying. When asked about his forensic investigation, Dr. Hiakawa said, "I gave a preserved sample of bone fragments to Professor Willow Parker. She's a marine biologist with an extensive background in DNA analysis. You should talk to her.
