The unexplained death of a woman in the Auckland suburb of Morningside has been ruled as not suspicious.

Police were called to a property on Don Croot Street after a woman was found unresponsive at about 9.15pm on Friday night.

"Despite CPR being performed at the scene, she was sadly unable to be revived," the police said in a statement.

The death was initially being treated as unexplained, but with a post-mortem completed on Monday, the police consider there are no suspicious circumstances.

"Our sympathies are with her friends and family," the police said.

Her death has been referred to the Coroner.
