“Luke Monahan of Rancho Palos Verdes and his fellow Marines had a four-day pass for the long Memorial Day weekend that they planned to spend in Waikiki, but Monahan promised his mom and dad back home in Southern California Friday night that he would not drink”, according to the Star Advertiser.

The Star Advertiser story continues, “So Eileen and Terry Monahan of Palos Verdes want to know why — and how — their 19-year-old son fell to his death Saturday morning from the Ilima Hotel.

“I want answers and I want to talk to the two Marines that were in the room with him,” Eileen said. “I want to know if anyone gave him a drink because he was underage. I want to know if there was a fight or if there was a broken fence and he fell through it. He wouldn’t just jump.”
