A tangi in Waimarama on Thursday for Mongrel Mob member Bruce Gillies is expected to cause traffic congestion, police say.
On Wednesday police confirmed Mr Gillies, 53, died after officers were called to an incident in Hastings’ Murdoch Pl about 8.50pm on Saturday, where a person was found unresponsive.
Senior Sergeant James Keene said at the time that a man died at the scene after receiving medical assistance.
The matter had since been referred to the coroner.
”Police continue to conduct inquiries on behalf of the coroner. The death is not suspicious. Police’s thoughts are with the man’s family at this time,” a police spokesperson said.
