HONOLULU — An 87-year-old Salt Lake City man died Friday days after falling while on a cruise in Hawaii.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Saturday that James C. Harte died Friday — four days after he sustained a head injury while on board a cruise ship off the coast of Hawaii island. Officials at the Honolulu Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Harte's death.

An official said an examination was scheduled for Monday to determine the cause of the man's death.

The Star-Advertiser reported that Harte, a passenger on the cruise ship, fell and hit his head around 10:30 p.m. Monday. Thursday, he was taken to a hospital on Oahu for further treatment where he succumbed to his injuries Friday evening.

Police said they did not suspect foul play.

A dispatcher for the Honolulu Police Department as well as a police officer contacted by KSL News could not provide additional details, including any information about the cruise line.
