A death at a block of flats in central Wellington is not being treated as suspicious.
A police spokesman said a person died following an incident at the Dixon St flats just after 11am.
A number of police vehicles and officers could be seen on the street, with a cordon across the entrance to the flats.
Residents on Dixon St were unaware of what sparked the police presence.
One woman said she saw a fire truck and ambulance earlier in the day, and asked paramedics what had happened. They told her they could not say anything.
