The family of Jenny Lupton has revealed the details of the last text message the flight attendant had sent before she was found dead during a layover in Hawaii. Lupton, 50, of Moore, Oklahoma, was found dead on August 20 after an apparent fall from a hotel balcony during a layover in Waikiki, her family has said. Her death has drawn attention as her family have called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances, saying they do not believe she died by suicide.
Police in Honolulu have said an investigation into Lupton’s death remains active. Lupton's niece, Hannah Lupton, said her aunt seemed to be enjoying her time in Hawaii. She had gone out dancing, gotten a tattoo and had been making plans with colleagues in the hours before her death, she said.
She told News 9 that she has heard from people who told her that her aunt had been having a good time. Emergency services responded to the Hilton Hawaiian Village at around 7:15 a.m. on August 20, and Lupton was pronounced dead at the scene, the outlet reported. The Honolulu Police Department said in a statement on August 24 that an investigation into the circumstances of Lupton’s death remains ongoing and that no conclusions have been made about the manner of her passing.
The medical examiner’s office has not yet released the cause or manner of death. We don’t know if it happened from the fall. So we’re waiting for that information.
Our family does believe, though, that it was not suicidal, so we are worried that there was foul play involved, either that or just a freak accident.” Friends and family have paid tribute to Lupton. She was the light of every party, the person who could make a room brighter simply by being in it. She had a personality that was impossible to forget, and if you knew her, you probably have a funny story about her,” Hannah Lupton wrote on Facebook.
"While Jenny and I weren’t particularly close, I was deeply saddened when I heard the news of her passing. Sometimes you don’t have to know someone for a lifetime to recognize the impact they had on the people around them. And in the days since Jenny’s passing, it has been impossible not to see just how deeply she was loved," Rodriguez said.
