HANAPEPE, KAUAI (HawaiiNewsNow)- Rescue officials have confirmed that Kaua'i's tenth drowning occurred Thursday night off Glass Beach in 'Ele'ele, when a man died while spear fishing with friends.

He has been identified as John-Eric Parinas.

According to a preliminary police report, the 35-year-old 'Ele'ele man was diving in waters off Glass Beach at around 9 p.m., when he apparently experienced a muscle cramp and attempted to make his way to shore.

While walking along a rock ledge, Parinas was reportedly swept away by waves. Friends then located him underwater and brought his unresponsive body to shore and performed CPR while awaiting medical assistance.

Firefighters located the victim down a rocky cliff and navigated through rough surf to carry him out of the area on a Stokes litter. Medics then transported him to Kaua'i Veterans Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

LIHUE, Hawaii (AP) - Kauai officials are reassuring residents that their drinking water is safe from the chemical herbicide atrazine.

The Garden Island reports that more than 300 people recently attended a presentation by the manager of the Kauai County Department of Water.

David Craddick told them that the department has been monitoring the water from the Waimea-Kekaha water system for decades. He says no trace of atrazine has ever been found in the Waimea-Kekaha water system.

Honolulu-based attorney Gerard Jervis says the U.S. Department of Agriculture found atrazine in water samples taken at Waimea Canyon Middle School in 2011. Craddick says the chemical could have traveled through the air.

Atrazine is banned in Europe due to groundwater contamination risks. Studies suggest it is associated with a number of serious health problems.
