Two teen fishermen found unresponsive off Kaena Point Saturday morning have been identified by the city Department of the Medical Examiner.

The boys who died are Maikah Hampp-Iriarte, 17, and Tony Siufanua, 17, both of Waianae. The cause and manner of their deaths are pending.

There were no signs of suspicious activity or foul play at the scene, according to the Honolulu Police Department.
