The Hawaii official who released Obama's birth certificate, who later reportedly dies due to a cardiac arrhythmia after a plane crash from which no one else was seriously hurt.

Financial matters

Fuddy was in debt and it has been alleged that she paid down her mortgage by over $100,000 in the the year before her death - remarkable since this was her annual salary.

Death

The Huffington Post reported that "Fuddy was the only fatality in the crash. All the passengers, including Fuddy, safely evacuated the plane and activated life-vests, but according to a newly released autopsy, Fuddy suffered a cardiac arrhythmia while floating in the water, waiting for rescuers. Her brother, Lewis Fuddy, says that she did not have any known heart problems, but according to Maui County police, the arrhythmia was the result of stress."

The LA Times reported:"Fuddy, 65, was among nine people in a Cessna that crashed into the ocean Wednesday, shortly after leaving Kalaupapa Airport on the island of Molokai about 3:15 p.m. The eight others on the plane, including the pilot, were rescued, but Fuddy "remained in the fuselage of the plane," Honolulu Fire Capt. Terry Seelig told KHON-TV. "It's always a difficult situation when you're not able to get everybody out."

NTSB Investigation

The NTSB investigative report stated that "the airline transport pilot and two passengers were seriously injured, one passenger was fatally injured, and five passengers received minor injuries." Some footage of the plane crash exists.
