HONOLULU, Hawaii — Lehua Lum searches for words to describe her loss. "He was an awesome kid. He's my son, so precious to me. He was a mighty man of valor," said Lum. Like many others, Lum wants to know what happened at Maunalua Bay Sunday afternoon when her 17-year-old son Keahihoku Lum was run over by a 26-foot fishing boat while diving in the area. "He went doing what he love most and that was diving...that was what he loved and he was with the brothers he loved most -- his Christian brothers," said Lum. The channel exiting Maunalua Bay is the focus of an investigation by the state and the U.S. Coast Guard. Police say Lum and another friend were diving with dive flags when they were hit by a boat. The captain rendered aid and returned them to shore. Both were taken to the hospital where Lum was pronounced dead. "Right now I cannot have any animosity for anybody. I just have to have my God help me through all of this," said Lum. "And this bay is super crowded with all kinds of ocean activity. You know from surfing to swimming to diving and if they're not watching out anything could happen even if you're on top of the water you could get banged," said canoe paddler Gavin Hanoa. "They got to regulate something over here you know -- I don't know how they going to do it I think they got to do something too many people on the weekends," said Hawaii Kai fisherman, Bob Iyoki. The medical examiner says Lum died of traumatic injuries of the chest and abdomen. Lum was very active with his church and at Farrington High School, where he wowed the crowed at a recent student rally. "He will always be in our hearts and our prayers go out to his family," said Yeolland Laulu. by Ron Mizutani |
