A 16-year-old Canadian involved in a helicopter crash in Hawaii's Pearl Harbor last week has died, according to U.S. authorities.

"So that the 16-year-old’s memory lives on, the family has chosen to donate his organs to patients in need."
In the statement, the hospital said two of his family members remain in stable condition, while a third was treated at another local hospital and released.
A U.S. Navy spokesperson identified the family members who are in still in hospital last week as a 45-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man.
The Department of Global Affairs told CTV News it is are aware of the incident involving Canadian citizens and is providing consular services to the affected individuals.
