David Hekili Kenui Bell's family officially announced his death on Thursday, saying `David died peacefully on the 12th.'
The cause of death was not disclosed, but Hawaii police said "No criminal charges have been found and the cause of death is currently under investigation.'
David Hekili Kenui Bell made a short but intense impression by playing the role of 'Big Hawaiian Dude' in 'Lillo & Stitch'. It is a comical scene in which ice cream is dropped in surprise of an alien portal in the play, which is a live-action version of 'learning gag', which repeatedly appeared in the original animation.
The deceased shared the footage on his personal account while he was alive, "You aliens, get my ice cream back!," he said cheerfully.
The bereaved family "He was a generous, pleasant, intelligent and handsome family. He was the one who gave unconditional love" in memory. In particular, the deceased added to his regret by saying that he had his last outing with his family two weeks before his death, with the release of 'Lillo & Stitch'.
David Hekili Kenui Bell was an actor who also appeared in the Hawaii Five - Oh' and Magnum P.I.' before the Disney film and continued various activities in Hawaii, including local commercials and narration activities.
