Huelo Point Flower Farm
Honolulu resident Mr. Stephen A. Goddard was found dead at the base of a cliff Dec. 31, 2003. Goddard and his family were staying at Huelo Point Flower Farm for a family reunion. Because it was rented as a hotel or condominium would be, the owners were responsible to protect guests from hazards. The property is at the edge of a 300-foot sheer cliff, but allegedly stones and foliage obscured the cliff edge. Goddard was last seen around 11:30 pm playing Trivial Pursuit with his nephew and drinking alcohol, but Goddard's alcohol consumption did not negate the owner's responsibility to ensure safety of their guests.
A lawsuit brought by the widow was dismissed after a settlement was reached for $1 million. (Jun-13-06)
