Elderly man in Hawaii killed after falling into 'lava tube' on his property, police say.
The victim, who was not immediately identified pending next-of-kin notification, had not been seen for days before police did a welfare check at his home in Hilo on Monday, officials said.
"It appeared that he had fallen through a soft area of ground into a lava tube on his property," police said in a statement. Hawaiʻi Fire Department Rescue personnel responded to the scene and were able to rappel into the lava tube and extract the victim, whose body was approximately 22 feet below the surface, police said.
