‘Lilo & Stitch' actor David H.K. Bell's autopsy reveals sad life-saving attempts, complicated health history
David Hekili Kenui Bell's autopsy report has revealed surprising new details about the 'Lilo & Stitch' star's death. The report, which was issued by the Hawaii Police Department and obtained by People on Tuesday, found that Bell suffered several serious health issues before his tragic passing on June 12 at the age of 46. Four 'pathological diagnoses' were listed among the report's findings, according to the outlet, including acute respiratory failure, sepsis, hypertensive/atherosclerotic heart disease and morbid obesity. 6 David Hekili Kenui Bell in the live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' movie, which premiered just days before his death on June 12.

The report further revealed that Bell 'complained of difficulty breathing' shortly before his death, and a toxicology screen determined that there were no drugs or alcohol in the actor's system above reporting limits.

A beginner's guide to the main Topps baseball card sets
If you're new to the sports card hobby, navigating Topps products can feel like wandering through a maze. There are so many different sets, each at a different price point, released at different times of the season, and aimed at different types of collectors. And god forbid you ask 'What's the difference between Chrome and Sapphire?' or 'What's the difference between Series 2 and Update?' in a Facebook group lest risk the wraith of internet know-it-alls. The truth is, Topps has built a layered release calendar that caters to both the casual collector who just wants to rip a few packs and the diehard hobbyist chasing low-numbered rookie autos. Sets drop throughout the season and update as rosters shift, giving fans a way to collect the game as it unfolds. Here's a breakdown of the main Topps sets you'll see in the wild and what makes each one different. Topps Series 1 (Flagship) This is the backbone of Topps Baseball. Series 1 is the first major release of the year, typically hitting shelves in February, and it sets the tone for the season. The design here is what you'll see carried across most other Topps releases. Packs are affordable, widely available, and loaded with base cards that become 'binder filler.' The big chase in Series 1 is always the flagship rookie cards — the ones that become the standard reference point for a player's first Topps appearance. Buy on eBay Topps Series 2 Series 2 drops midseason and acts as the next chapter of the flagship line. It usually features players who didn't make it into Series 1, whether they were late roster additions, call-ups, or offseason signings. Think of it as a continuation of the flagship checklist rather than a standalone set. Buy on eBay Topps Chrome If Series 1 is the bread and butter, Chrome is the filet mignon. Chrome cards are essentially the same design as flagship but printed on shiny, premium chromium stock. The autograph checklist is usually smaller than flagship (although 2025 may be an exception), and rookie autos here are considered some of the most desirable in the entire hobby. Parallels — refractors, golds, reds, and more — drive a lot of the value. When you hear 'the true rookie auto,' most collectors are thinking about Topps Chrome. Buy on eBay Topps Chrome Sapphire Sapphire takes Chrome and cranks it up a notch. Every card gets a cracked-ice style background, making even commons look flashy. It's produced in limited quantities and only sold directly through Topps (usually online), which adds to the exclusivity. Sapphire rookies and parallels command strong premiums, and for many collectors, this is the ultimate version of a flagship rookie card. The autograph and base checklist is considerably smaller than Topps Chrome. Buy on eBay Topps Chrome Logofractor Logofractor is one of the newer kids on the block, and it's quickly built a reputation as a short-print chase set. Essentially, it's Topps Chrome with a bold refractor pattern built around the MLB logo. Boxes have been released in limited fashion (often exclusively at the MLB flagship store in New York), and the scarcity adds to the hype. Rookie Logofractors are among the flashiest parallels out there and have become a favorite for collectors who want something rarer than a standard refractor but not quite as unreachable as a Gold or Red. Buy on eBay Topps Update Series Update arrives at the end of the season and captures all the roster movement: deadline trades, mid-season call-ups, and All-Star Game highlights. It's famous for rookie cards of late-season debutants – think Ronald Acuña Jr. or Juan Soto. Update is a must-watch product because those rookies often end up being the most important cards from the year. Update also includes two different rookie cards for players – their 'debut' which is denoted with the date they debuted and the regular base rookie if they were not featured in Series 1 or 2. Buy on eBay Topps Chrome Update Chrome Update takes the Update checklist and gives it the chromium treatment. The product has become even hotter recently with the addition of MLB debut patch cards — one-of-one cards that feature a patch from a player's first big-league game. These are the definition of modern grail cards, and they've turned Chrome Update into one of the most chased products of the year. Buy on eBay Topps Chrome Update Sapphire This is exactly what it sounds like — Update, in Chrome, in Sapphire. Limited, expensive, and absolutely loaded with appeal if you land the right rookie. It combines the excitement of new debuts with the exclusivity of the Sapphire look. Buy on eBay Other sets to know Topps Finest Finest has been around since the '90s and has its own distinct chrome design. It's not as iconic as flagship or Chrome, but it's respected in the hobby and often features bold, colorful inserts. Rookie autos from Finest don't carry quite the same weight as Chrome, but the product has a loyal following. Topps Cosmic Chrome A newer product, Cosmic Chrome takes the chromium format and adds wild, space-themed backgrounds. Think refractors on steroids. It's visually loud, which some collectors love and others find gimmicky, but it's definitely carved out a niche as a fun and unique rip. Topps Archives Archives is a nostalgia play. Each year's set features current players printed on classic Topps card designs from decades past. It's a fan favorite for people who grew up collecting in a certain era and want to see today's stars in those vintage designs. Archives also sneaks in quirky inserts and fan-service cards like broadcaster autos or celebrity cameos. Topps Heritage Heritage is the purest nostalgia trip. Each year it uses the design of Topps sets from 50 years prior. So the 2024 Heritage set mimics the 1975 Topps design. Heritage is known for quirky variations (like error reproductions or action photo swaps) and tends to appeal to traditionalists. It's also a slower burn in terms of value; base rookies here don't always pop right away but can be sneaky long-term holds. Heritage also has the VERY desired red ink and blue ink autographs. These on-card autographs have an extremely loyal following. Red ink autographs are numbered to /76 while blue ink are not numbered. Final Thoughts Topps builds its release schedule so there's something for everyone. Whether you're chasing the 'true' Chrome rookie auto, filling binders with flagship, or enjoying the nostalgia of Heritage, each set has its own role, and price point, in the hobby. Just know the differences before you rip, and if you do ask on Facebook, brace yourself. Have any other questions about Topps products? Ask them on Mantel, we promise we don't bite.

Meta's AI voice translation feature rolls out globally
On Tuesday, Meta rolled out its new voice dubbing feature globally. The Reels feature uses generative AI to translate your voice, with optional lip-syncing. Mark Zuckerberg first previewed the feature at Meta Connect 2024. At launch, the translations are only available for English to Spanish (and vice versa). The company says more languages will arrive later. At least at first, it's restricted to Facebook creators with 1,000+ followers. However, anyone with a public Instagram account can use it. The tool trains on your original voice and generates a translated audio track to match your tone. The lip-syncing add-on then matches your mouth's movements to the translated speech. The demo clip the company showed last year was spot-on — eerily so. You can choose whether to add lip syncing and preview before posting. (Meta) To use the feature, choose the "Translate your voice with Meta AI" option before publishing a reel. That's also where you can choose to add lip syncing. There's an option to review the AI-translated version before publishing. Viewers will see a pop-up noting that it's an AI translation. Meta says the feature works best for face-to-camera videos. The company recommends avoiding covering your mouth or including excessive background music. It works for up to two speakers, but it's best to avoid overlapping your speech. The company frames the feature as a way for creators to expand their audiences beyond their native tongues. As such, it included a by-language performance tracker, so you can see how well it's doing in each language. YouTube launched a similar feature last year. Apple has gotten in on the action, too: Messages, Phone and FaceTime apps have live translation tools in iOS 26.
