Police will continue investigating the circumstances that led to the death of a woman outside her South Auckland home.
Emergency services were called to Alma Crescent, Papakura, shortly before midday today.
Residents reported seeing a person lying on a footpath, but police said the dead woman was discovered in a vehicle outside her house about 11.45am.
St John earlier confirmed the death was not the result of a medical condition, so police were called.
Officers will continue inquiries to determine exactly what happened before the 54-year-old's death, including speaking to family members.
