Lilo & Stitch actor David Hekili Kenui Bell has died, according to a Facebook post from his sister Jalene Kanani Bell. Bell was 46 years old.
“It is with a heavy heart I share that my sweet, generous, talented, funny, brilliant and handsome little brother David H. K. Bell will spend today in the company of our Heavenly Father,” Jalene Kanani Bell wrote in the post, which was shared Sunday. “I’ve been waiting for the words and mindset to properly express the joy of a human, and Prince of a Man he was, but fate pushed my hand this morning by a pre-scheduled Father’s Day newsletter honoring the men in our lives.”
The Hawai’i Police Department confirmed in a statement to People on Monday that Bell died June 12.
“We have launched a coroner’s inquest investigation (as is standard practice) and an autopsy is being scheduled to determine the exact cause of death,” a police spokesperson said, according to People. “The investigation is ongoing at this time. No foul play is suspected.”
Bell’s representative Lashauna Downie also told People in a statement, “I am learning like you through social media. This is heartbreaking & sad, if true.”
“He was one of my best talent & embodied the true meaning of aloha…a gentle giant,” Downie added.
Bell most recently appeared as “Big Hawaiian Dude” in the new live-action Lilo & Stitch movie, where he made a lasting impression as the man holding a shave ice near the end of the movie trailer. He was also a guest on the shows Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I.
“David loved being an actor, doing voiceovers,” his sister wrote in her Facebook post Sunday. “The film industry and entertainment was so exciting to him and I loved that he enjoyed the arts.”
Describing him as “a diamond in the rough” and “a bright and shining star,” she said her brother “recently made it on to the big screen with an iconic Lilo & Stich [moment].”
“He planned ahead and purchased the best seats in the house for us all to go together to opening night in Kapolei just two short weeks ago,” she wrote. “We talked about and were so energized by the fans dressed in L&S gear head to toe, t-shirts, onezees, hats, mask, and the merch galore flying off the shelf as we stood in line for pop-corn.”
“Hug your loved ones today…our last time together after returning home from the movie was just sitting on my living room couch talking story about life, having a seltzer and doing a little genealogy,” she added. “Blessed by this and all the big and small moments, I will keep our memories alive.”
ABC News has reached out to the Hawai’i Police Department, Bell’s representative Downie and SAG-AFTRA for comment.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have finalized their divorce.
Furness filed for divorce from the Deadpool & Wolverine star on May 23. According to court records from New York’s Suffolk County Supreme Court, the divorce was granted on June 3.
News of the divorce comes two years after Jackman and Furness announced in in September 2023 that they were separating after 27 years of marriage.
The former couple shared a joint statement about their split at the time, saying their “journey is now shifting” and that they have “decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
They vowed to put their family first and to embark on their next chapters “with gratitude, love, and kindness.”
At the time, Jackman and Furness had just celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary.
The duo married in April 1996 after meeting the previous year on the set of the Australian TV series Corelli.
They share two children: son Oscar Maximilian Jackman and daughter Ava Eliot Jackman.
In May 2025, Furness shared a statement with People in which she opened up about the emotional toll of her and Jackman’s breakup.
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It’s a profound wound that cuts deep,” she said at the time. “However, I believe in a higher power and that God or the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us.”
Furness added that this belief helped her navigate the end of her decadeslong marriage.
“I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose,” she said then. “It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”
