This is the driver's license photo of Alan Kaname Hamai, 22, of Redondo Beach, who died inhamai.jpg a fall from the roof of his 3-story apartment building near UC Berkeley early Saturday.

He died just hours after his parents watched him graduate with an anthropology degree Friday.

An autopsy will be performed Tuesday at the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau, but tests to determine if he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs will take several weeks to complete. 

I went to Hamai's home in Redondo Beach today. His sister said this was a hard time for the family and declined a request for an interview.

Hamai went to La Canada High School. His family moved to Redondo Beach in 2003, property records show.

A story will run later on dailybreeze.com and in Tuesday's print edition.
