Filipino last known Hawaii fire dead

HONOLULU, Hawaii: The last of the 100 known victims of the wildfire that destroyed Maui's historic town of Lahaina in August was identified Friday as a 70-year-old Filipino woman whose husband, sister and several other relatives also died in the fire.

Maui police said they identified the victim as Lydia Coloma based on the context of where the remains were found rather than through DNA or other positive identification methods.
