According to Honolulu police, Danser was the passenger in a parked car that was struck by a vehicle whose driver lost control on the road. The accident occurred on Sunday, Oct. 20, at which time Danser was listed in critical condition. She died two days later.

Danser worked for Island Divers Hawaii, which posted this tribute to its beloved employee on Facebook: “Heavy hearts as we say goodbye to a good friend and great captain. Sarah brought such great energy to everyone she came in contact with. You will be greatly missed.”
