Police are investigating an unexplained death in the suburb of Devonport on Auckland’s North Shore.
Police have issued a further appeal to the public after an unexplained death at a Devonport property on New Year’s Day when an unidentified group is believed to have used the pool at the address.
Emergency services were called to 9 Kerr St about 11pm on January 1 andone person was found dead.
An autopsy was carried out on January 3. Police later asked for help from the community, particularly those who might have dashcam or CCTV footage.
Detective Inspector Aaron Pascoe said the police investigation is ongoing, with inquiries to date indicating a group of people, including one adult and at least two children, may have visited the address and used the pool.
“We do not believe these people were present at the address at the time of the death,” Pascoe said. “However, we are asking that they come forward to enable police to confirm their movements and any observations they may have made.”
Another neighbour said the street was a tight-knit community where “everybody knows everybody”, while one who wished to remain anonymous said they did not hear anything out of the ordinary other than the sound of a fire engine about midnight.
