A blessing from a local kaumatua was held this afternoon for the man who fell from a building at Smales Farm, on Auckland's North Shore, yesterday.
About 50 staff gathered together at 2pm to pay their respects to the man, 47, and his family.
The incident happened inside an atrium shared by several businesses including NZI/IAG, Auckland Transport operations, the ASB bank, Columbus coffee and the Quarry bar.
A number of police vehicles and ambulances were parked outside the building after the death about 2.20pm yesterday and the front of the ASB branch was cordoned off.
An office worker who attended the blessing was visibly upset by what he witnessed yesterday.
