Pitt, of Florida, had been missing last Wednesday.
Officials believe he was planning on hiking one of the trails along the nearby Hana Highway. His vehicle, a silver Toyota Corolla, was found parked on the shoulder of the highway a day before his body was found.
Maui police and the fire department conducted a search of the Bamboo Forest area of Hana Highway -- with the help of a police search dog and helicopter -- on Saturday.
It was then that they found the body of a white male, which was later positively identified as Pitt.
