MEDIA RELEASE UPDATE

The prelimary results of an autopsy performed Wednesday (April 27, 2005) on the body of a 40-year-old Kailua-Kona man found dead on Sunday failed to identify the exact cause of his death.

The patholigist has deferred his determination of the cause of death of Dennis Kreis pending the receipt of toxilogical results.
