The Honolulu Medical Examiner's office performed an autopsy on Mara Sept. 22 but deferred on listing cause and manner of death pending test results.

Mara, 47, was arrested Sept. 19 for criminal trespass at Kapolei Shopping Center. He was at the Kapolei police station when he complained of illness and was taken to Hawaii Medical Center-West, where he died at 7:31 p.m.

Authorities are investigating how Mara suffered the ruptured spleen while lab tests should determine how old the injury is. HPD is also conducting an internal investigation on Mara's arrest although there's no evidence of wrongdoing.

Mara's criminal record includes 17 convictions.
