A body has been found at a student flat in Christchurch.
Police were called after the death of a male at a private resident in Ilam near the University of Canterbury last night.
"Police are conducting a scene examination and making further inquiries on behalf of the coroner," a spokeswoman said this morning.
A University of Canterbury (UC) spokeswoman said the community is "saddened by the news of the sudden death of a student and the university is supporting those affected by the loss".
"UC is committed to supporting the safety and wellbeing of all staff and students," she said.
