Medical personnel moved the victim to a hospital where he died Saturday. The man’s identify has not yet been released and the investigation is ongoing. He was injured on Paia Bay, near Haiku. Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources says shark warning signs were placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay.
