Kahapea died of overdose

Police say a Banyan Drive man whose body was found on the Naniloa Volcanoes Golf Course on Nov. 8 died of a drug overdose.

Lt. Greg Esteban of the Criminal Investigations Section said Thursday that according to toxicology test results, 50-year-old Ronald Moku Kahapea died as a result of a combination of methadone and morphine.

Kahapea’s late father, Alexander Kahapea, designed and developed the Banyan Drive course in 1970.
