Detective Inspector Lew Warner said a post-mortem examination was being done today and a scene examination at the Greerton 2nd Hand & Pawn Warehouse was continuing.
"We can confirm it is the same address where Lance Waite was injured on January 3, before dying in Tauranga Hospital later that day," Warner said.
