Police have been called to a sudden death in the Mt Wellington area.

Officers were called to a property on Panama Road in the Auckland suburb.

A police spokeswoman earlier said no further details were available at this stage.

In an update shortly before 5pm, police said the death was not suspicious and had been referred to the coroner.

Two police cars were parked outside the property, which is in a line of townhouses, when the Herald visited this morning.

Around 20 people were on the street outside the home, and some of them were hugging each other.
