Pauu Pooi fell into a cesspool in Laie and is presumed dead. There are many ways that a person may leave the living, but dropping into a cesspool is not a good way to go.
News reports indicate that Pooi was a worker on a project to replace cesspools and connect the local area to the city’s sewer system. He was standing on the ground 30 feet above the cesspool when it caved in. He fell into the sludge at the bottom of the cesspool and the ground fell on top of him.
People die of injuries in auto accidents, and the effects of old age and illness. Dying at the bottom of a cesspool is not a good way to go.
