His cause of death has not yet been disclosed, but his passing was confirmed by Hawaiian news station KITV 4 Island News on Thursday. “Hawaii Five-0” executive producer Peter M. Lenkov also shared the news via Instagram.
Lenkov posted a behind-the-scenes picture with Wily, writing that he’s “heartbroken” over the loss.
“You came in with a towel on your head mopping up sweat, and I was smitten. You charmed me into making you a regular … on the show … and in my life. You were family. And I will miss you every day, brother,” he penned.
“PS: when we spoke last week, we laughed at how right you were from Day 1. Five-0 was our dream job. And I was so lucky we got to share that magic together.”
Wily is known for his role as Kamekona on the CBS drama, which he starred in for 171 episodes from 2010 to 2020.
