Hemsey Jedo, a 54-year-old transient man, was last seen alive in the early hours of November 25, 2024. At approximately 0300 hours, an acquaintance observed Jedo suffering from illness, including fever and vomiting, and sought assistance. A passerby helped relay the distress call to a security guard at a nearby bakery, who promptly activated emergency medical services at 0337 hours. First responders arrived at the Kapahulu Avenue bus stop, where Jedo had been staying, but despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene at 0422 hours.
Authorities have determined that there was no trauma or foul play suspected in Jedo’s death. However, due to the lack of known medical history or a primary care physician, the Department of the Medical Examiner was notified. Given the unattended nature of his passing, the department assumed jurisdiction over the case.
The Department of the Medical Examiner continues to handle Jedo’s case, listed under Agency Case Number 2024-3252. Anyone seeking further information or assistance can contact the department at 808-768-3090 or visit their website at https://www.honolulu.gov/med. Their office is located at 835 Iwilei Road in Honolulu, Hawaii.
