      Local officials with the agreement by local media want to give the least info as possible to try to stifle spread of the news to the nation and the world. They figure anyone dying on a flight to Hawaii, for whatever reason is negative publicity. The guy who died trying to get past security at the Honolulu airport made national and world news.
