Advertiser Staff
A 50-year-old Kalaheo man was pronounced dead at Wilcox Hospital Saturday night after nearly drowning at Gillins Beach, just east of Punahoa Pt. near Mahaulepu Beach in Poipu, Kauai.
According to a preliminary report, Irving Corbett had been kite surfing at the south shore spot , said Kauai County spokeswoman Mary Daubert.
Someone called police dispatch at 4:01 p.m. Saturday to report that Corbett was lying on the beach unresponsive, but breathing.
Rescue specialists from the Lihue fire station who were in Poipu on another rescue call left that scene and responded to Gillins Beach. When they arrived, the rescue specialists took over performing CPR from bystanders.
Then medics took over and continued with CPR while en route to Wilcox Hospital.
Corbett was pronounced dead at the hospital. |

That is so tragic - he made it back to the beach but then died. Anyone know what happened?

Condolences to family and friends.
At least when it’s time to go, Kaui is a blissful place to do it…

| That sucks! Weird he was riding at Poipu... not many people ride there. People ride mainly east and north shore. I'm headed there next month to ride.
