The man found dead on a Tauranga farm today has been described as a caring and thoughtful person.
The man, believed to be in his 60s, was found after a quad bike rolled on the Welcome Bay property.
Police were advised of the death at 9.54am on the farm, located in the Waitao area between Welcome Bay and Papamoa, police confirmed.
A neighbour said he was shocked when a mail man told him the news.
"He was a very caring, very thoughtful guy. Helped anybody. Helped us, helped his neighbours," said the neighbour, who would not be named.
