Big Island police have identified the body of a man found at a Fern Forest residence in Puna.

The man was identified as Samuel Ray Zamrzla, 51, of a Fern Forest address. He was identified Friday (May 13, 2005) through dental records.

Zamrzla’s body was found last Friday (May 6, 2005) at his residence.

East Hawaii Criminal Investigation Section detectives said they are still awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death, but say they have found no evidence to suspect foul play was involved in Zamrzla’s death.
