Actor David Hekili Kenui Bell, who recently made his silver screen debut in Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch,” has died. He was 46.
Bell died on June 12, his family confirmed in a press release shared by his agent Lashuana Downie on June 17. A cause of death was not disclosed, although the release notes Bell’s death was a “peaceful passing.”
Hawaiʻi Police Department Public Relations Officer Denise Laitinen confirmed in a June 17 statement to USA TODAY that Bell died in the afternoon on June 12, and “no foul play is suspected” while the department’s investigation is “ongoing.” As is standard practice, Laitinen said, a coroner’s inquest investigation and autopsy are slated to take place.
The actor, who previously made appearances on the shows “Hawaii Five-0” and “Magnum P.I.,” played the character “Big Hawaiian Dude” in the adaptation of the 2002 animated film about a young Hawaiian girl who befriends an alien fugitive. The movie premiered on May 23 and has grossed $858.6 million worldwide to date.
