A death at a block of flats in central Wellington is not being treated as suspicious.
A police spokesman said a person died following an incident at the Dixon St flats just after 11am.
A number of police vehicles and officers could be seen on the street, with a cordon across the entrance to the flats.
Residents on Dixon St were unaware of what sparked the police presence.
One woman said she saw a fire truck and ambulance earlier in the day, and asked paramedics what had happened. They told her they could not say anything.
One man said he saw police taking photos on the veranda of the block of flats.
Police have now said the death is not suspicious, and has been referred to the coroner.
