Police will continue to investigate the death of a baby in Whangārei over the weekend.

A Whangārei police spokesperson said officers were called by ambulance to go to a house in Kensington, Whangārei, after a baby was discovered unresponsive about 7.15am yesterday.

Despite all the efforts of staff involved, sadly the 5-month-old baby died.

The spokesperson said a post mortem examination would be conducted today and further police enquiries would be conducted.

Police confirmed they were called to the same address the previous evening.
