Man dies after brain haemorrhage

A 19-year-old Wairoa man found lying near a park in the town with serious head injuries on Tuesday has died, a Hawke's Bay District Health Board spokeswoman said today.

Police were initially involved in investigating how the man was injured but it had been established that it was due to a brain haemorrhage resulting from a medical condition.

"It was not injury or accident related," the spokeswoman said.

The man's family had asked for privacy.
