Actor Taylor Tuli Wily’s family has sued a Las Vegas medical transport company, alleging he died from injuries sustained after being dropped from a wheelchair.

Wily, known for his role as confidential informant Kamekona Tupuola in the reboots of Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I., died on June 20, 2024, in Hurricane, Utah, at age 56.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by Las Vegas outlet KLAS, Wily sustained severe injuries on October 3, 2023, when a wheelchair lift malfunctioned during his loading into a non-medical transport van near an office complex at 3012 S. Durango Drive.

“As a result of the lift failure, Mr. Wily fell from the platform to the ground, hitting his body and striking the back of his head on the pavement,” the lawsuit detailed, per the outlet.
