Police are combing a creek in front of a Christchurch flat where an elderly woman was found dead last night.
They were called to a unit in Brookside Tce just before 6pm yesterday and found the woman.
It's understood she was in her 80s.
Police say they are still making
inquiries to establish the cause of death, which they say is "unexplained".
A large cordon surrounding the end unit was removed about 11am, shortly after a hearse removed the body.
