The following is a chronological look at the events which appeared to have been the cause of his early demise:
1834 - Alexander Liholiho was born to Kamehameha's II widow Kinau and her new husband Mataio Kekuanaoa.
Alexander Liholiho was a hanai hookama /adopted child who inherited sovereignty, of
Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli.
1854 - Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli died.
1855 - Alexander Liholiho became Kamehameha IV.
1856 - Emma Rooke, adopted by Dr. T.C.B. Rooke, a true daughter of Fanny Kekela and George Naea, married Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho.
1857 - Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd owned a drug store on Fort and Merchant Street. He had the following available medicine, poisons available for sale:
Drugs, Medicines, and POISONS such as Arsenic, strichnine, veratrine, corrosive sublimate,
oxilate acid, St. Ignacius beans, nux vomica, opium, Prussic acid, and alcohol.
Note: Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd was an early genocide leader who withheld the smallpox
vaccine from kanaka maoli and gave the vaccine to only his friends, family, and selected
kanaka maoli. Meanwhile, hundreds/thousands died from the smallpox epidemic.
1858 - Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho and Emma had a son named Prince Albert Edward Kamehameha.
1859 - September 11. Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho shot Henry Neilson a presumed LOVER
of his wife Emma/Queen Emma.
Henry Neilson, a former New Yorker, came from a physician's family. His father was the doctor
to millionaire John Jacob Astor who was one of the planners of the Christmas Santa Claus. (see
Santa Claus from Hawaii article by Amelia Gora)
Henry Neilson died two years after Kamehameha IV shot him. He had been a friend to the
King.
Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho considered stepping down and allowing his sister
Victoria Kamamalu be the Queen, but was convinced to not resign.
Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho was willing to submit to a court trial but his counsel
didn't think it was necessary.
Note: The truth of the matter is that Royal persons are not subject to the laws, Kamehameha IV
was the King.
1859 - Emma/Queen Emma and her husband Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho as the permanent officer of the Queen's Hospital documented on the Incorporation documents helped to fund the Queen's Hospital.
1860 - Kamehameha IV and his wife petitioned that the Church of England have a Church built in
Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.

Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho declared and maintained a neutrality status in the
American Civil War.
1862 - Prince Albert Edward Kamehameha died, age 4.
Palmyra Islands/Atoll was annexed by Captains Bent, and Wilkinson on assignment from
Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho. The notice was posted in the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL
ADVERTISER and "considered and respected as part of the Domain of the King of the
Hawaiian Islands. L. Kamehameha, Minister of Interior"
Important to note that the Genocide Activist Leader Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd was an Agent of
the American Guano Company claimed to have annexed Palmyra Island on behalf of the United States and a posting to that effect was made after the Notice by L. Kamehameha was made/
just below his article.
1863 - Kamehameha IV died. How did Kamehameha IV die? Poison.
SUMMARY
A young, vibrant Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho died at age 29. His widow Emma had an affair with Henry Neilson, son of a Doctor living in New York who was the physician of Millionaire Jacob Astor - the person who helped create the Santa Claus character.
Physicians connected to Kamehameha IV period included Dr. Neilson, Dr. Robert McKibbin - the Royal physician who also tended to Henry Neilson hours after he was shot, and Genocide Activist Leader Gerrit Parmele Judd who had a drug store selling Medicines, POISONS, and working for the American Guano Company as an agent?
Additionally, "Under his eight-year reign the Kingdom saw the many territory additions. Laysan Island was annexed in May 1, 1857,Lisianski Island was annexed in May 10, 1857, and Palmyra Atoll was annexed in April 15, 1862. Some residents ofSikaiana near the Solomon Islands believe their island was annexed by Kamehameha IV to Hawaii in 1856 (or 1855). Some maintain that through this annexation, Sikaiana has subsequently become part of the United States of America through the 1898 annexation of "Hawaii and its dependencies". The U.S. disagrees.[11]"
