HONOLULU (AP) — The death toll from the wildfire that destroyed the historic town of Lahaina, Hawaii, has climbed to 101 after Maui police confirmed the identity of one new victim, a 76-year-old man. Maui police found Paul Kasprzycki’s remains off a side street in an industrial area. Police identified him by comparing X-rays taken before and after his death. A new cold case unit Maui police formed after the fire made the identification. There are now two people missing from the Aug. 8 blaze. Two-thirds of those killed in the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century were in their 60s or older.
