A scene guard is in place at a property in the Te Kamo suburb of Whangārei today as police try to establish the cause of a man's sudden death.
Detective Senior Sergeant Michelle Harris of the Whangārei CIB said police were called to a house on Eden Terrace just before 4pm yesterday afternoon where they found a deceased man.
The circumstances of his death were not clear, so the property was under guard until a scene examination is carried out later today, Harris said.
A post-mortem examination would be part of the investigation, she said.
Police have yet to release the name of the deceased.
