Missing Maui hiker Noah Mina’s body was found early Wednesday, a spokeswoman for the family said in a statement. A crew of searchers spotted Mina’s body about “300 feet below a fall line in the summit region of Mauna Kahalawai,” according to spokeswoman Kaimana Brummel. “We are so very sorry that Kekai has passed from this realm, he meant the world to us as a son, brother and friend,” Mina’s father Vincent, mother Irene, and sister Kahanulani said in a statement Wednesday evening. “We are so fortunate to have had the time here physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, with him.” Volunteer searcher Keahi Bustamente said Mina’s body was found around 5 a.m. Wednesday morning after an object that was “camouflaging his body” blew away and revealed the “light reflecting from his skin.” Brummel told The Daily Beast the family would soon be releasing updates on services and the GoFundMe page. “It was not the results they were hoping for,” Brummel said of Mina’s family. “They are trying to find solace.”
