Marvin Foster Kills Himself

by The Editors on May 19, 2010

Hawaiian surf legend Marvin Foster was found dead on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 from what the medical examiners described as suicide, according to a story in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Foster, 49, died from asphyxia due to hanging. . . Surfer Rusty Keaulana, who grew up with Foster, said this morning, “I’m still bummed about it. He was like my brother.” . . Keaulana described Foster as a fearless “goofy-foot” surfer who was the first to go left at Waimea Bay.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
