Police are continuing to investigate an "unexplained" death of a 37-year-old woman in Auckland's Glen Innes this morning. A post-mortem examination will take place tomorrow.
Auckland City Police Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Armstrong said the woman's body was found on a public walkway near the Glen Innes train station this morning.
Police continue to make inquiries, he said.
"Police are working with the deceased's next-of-kin.
"We are unable to comment further around the identity of the deceased at this stage until formal identification procedures are carried out."
The public walkway between Felton Mathew Ave and the train station will remain closed until further notice, he said, although the station remains open.
Cordons were in place at the scene this morning.
A person who worked in a building alongside the walkway said five or six police cars were at the scene and a forensics van with eight staff were working at the site.
Another worker nearby said the police and ambulance were at the walkway when they arrived at work just before 6am. A person was carried out in a body bag soon after, they said.
