Police have ruled out foul play in the death of Wairoa man Christopher Durdy.
Emergency services were called to a Lucknow St property in Wairoa on March 5 after Durdy, 73, was found unresponsive.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and his death was initially treated as “unexplained” butpolice said in a statement on Sunday there were now no suspicious circumstances relating to his death.
Durdy’s daughter Christina posted to Facebook her dad was an avid gardener, great shearer, excellent fisherman, and kai diver who “shared his catch always”.
“Being a top bloke to people, whether he met while travelling around the world in his younger days or at the Clyde.
“He’s quite a popular guy with so many, many great mates, and the ladies knew him as quite the catch!”
