Police inquiries are under way following a sudden death in Waikato.
Senior Sergeant Kristine Clarke told Waikato Herald police were making inquiries into an unexplained death at a Pilgrim Place address in Te Kauwhata on Monday.
“A scene examination and a post-mortem are being undertaken today,” Clarke said.
“Local residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the town as they conduct inquiries.”
“Because it was a sudden death the police have gotten involved in looking into it and we are waiting for the police to get back to us,” Cunningham said.
“They have the skills to look into it.”
Cunningham said Aparangi Village has been looking after people for over 50 years.
“It’s very sad when we have a death.
“It’s always tough.”
