Hawaii Medical Examiner Rules Southwest Flight Attendant's Waikiki Death a Suicide, Defying Family's Homicide Claims

The Honolulu Medical Examiner has officially ruled the death of Southwest Airlines flight attendant Jenny Lupton a suicide, citing multiple injuries from a 24-story fall. This determination, released months after her body was found in August, contradicts the family's persistent belief that she was murdered or died in an accident. While police maintain the investigation is active, the medical examiner's finding provides a definitive cause of death despite ongoing public and familial skepticism.

Oʻahu Woman Fights Ala Wai Bridge, Demanding Deeper Environmental Scrutiny

Laura Ruby, a longtime Mōʻiliʻili artist and cemetery restorer, has waged a nearly 20-year campaign to block the proposed pedestrian bridge across the Ala Wai Canal, pushing for a full environmental impact study and alternative designs. Her repeated resolutions and frequent appearances at neighborhood boards helped slow the project, reshape its plans, and prompt more community input, even as bids are opened and a shortlist of designs is prepared for final approval. The city contends the review is progressing, while Ruby remains convinced the bridge is unnecessary, oversized, and risky for local residents.
