Police are not treating the death of a man at a Whangārei property as suspicious.

Detective Senior Sergeant Michelle Harris, of Whangārei Criminal Investigation Branch, said police were called to an Eden Tce property in Te Kamo about 3.45pm on Sunday.

Harris initially said on Monday the circumstances of the man’s death were not clear and required further inquiries.

“As part of this, police have put a scene guard in place on Eden Tce so a scene examination can be carried out today.”

A post-mortem examination would also be completed in due course.
