The death toll from the wildfire that destroyed the historic Hawaii town of Lahaina in August rose to 101 on Tuesday after Maui police confirmed the identity of one new victim, a 76-year-old man. Maui police found Paul Kasprzycki's remains off a side street in an industrial area, Maui police spokesperson Alana Pico said in an email. They identified him by comparing X-rays taken before and after his death, she said. A new cold case unit Maui police formed after the fire made the identification.
There are now two people missing from the Aug. 8 blaze. A childhood friend said Kasprzycki excelled as a carpenter and woodworker. Steve Brodersen, also 76, said Kasprzycki set up a small retail shop that doubled as an apartment after his children were grown."He never marched to marketing on any given day," he said. Kasprzycki came to Hawaii while on a boat a race from Santa Monica, Calif., to Honolulu in the 1970s. "He just never came back," Brodersen said of his friend during in an interview from his home in Santa Ana, Calif
