The death of an elderly man found dead in a Wellington park is not being treated as suspicious, police say.
Police were earlier seeking information from the public over what they called an “unexplained” death in the park, but have now referred the case to the coroner.
The 78-year-old man was found dead at Tanera Park in the suburb of Brooklyn about 3.45pm on Thursday.
“An investigation into the circumstances of the death is under way and at this stage it is being treated as unexplained,” police said in a statement at the time.
