Joshua Shintani, the actor best known for his role in Shallow Hal who went by the nickname Li?iBoy, died in Kauai, H.I., according to a Monday report from TMZ. He was 32.

Joshua?s mother rushed him to an emergency room early last week, TMZ reports. Joshua died on Wednesday after doctors discovered he was battling advanced pneumonia.

The actor appeared in only one film, the 2001 comedy Shallow Hal starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Jack Black. Shintani played the Hawaiian man who strummed his ukulele to the song ?Never Forget Where I?m From? while sitting next to Jason Alexander?s character on a bench.

Director Peter Farrelly was vacationing in Hawaii when he discovered Shintani ? a high school senior at the time ? while he was playing his ukulele outside a public library. He was flown to Los Angeles for a screen test and landed the part immediately after.

Diet doesn't really play that big of a role when you die from pneumonia. I was expecting to read "heart attack" at the end of the article but looks like pneumonia got him

Pneumonia can be complicated by size. It was likely difficult for him to breathe as is due to being so large, throw in pneumonia and its a real battle.

And just as I was beginning to appreciate ukelele music.

Well, at least he ate well during his lifetime. That's more than people in Africa can say, who die at that same age.
