The man who died at a rural property in Nelson this week was a seasonal worker.
A 56-year-old man was found deceased at Eden's Road Fruit orchard in Hope at 7.30am on Wednesday.
Police say he is a New Zealander but not from the Nelson region.
"Tasman police are tracking the man's movements from Monday as the man attended work on that day."
Police would not say how the man died or when.
