A man’s death in the Whangārei suburb of Te Kamo is not being treated as suspicious.

Police were called to a Carr St home on Monday morning, after reports a man had been found dead inside the property.

Northland area investigations manager Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Pilmer said police believe the man’s death was the result of a medical event.

“Police extend condolences to the deceased’s whānau and friends at this difficult time,” Pilmer said.

The death would be referred to the coroner.
