Rotorua police are attending the scene of a suspicious death at a Fordlands home.

A woman in her 30s was found dead this morning at a Wrigley Rd house but police say it is too early to say how she died.

Senior Sergeant Malcolm Collins said they had not found any obvious cause of death.

Police were treating the sudden death as suspicious.

A post mortem would be carried out today in Auckland, the results of which would be returned tomorrow.

"We are erring on the side of caution,'' Mr Collins said.

Police would likely leave a cordon up around the Wrigley Rd home until they received details on the cause of death, Mr Collins said.

A woman who lived in the area told The Daily Post she didn't know what had happened but police were at the house when she woke about 7.30am.

During the morning about five police cars had turned up at the house and had cordoned off the property.

The woman said that last night there had been a party at the house next door to the one cordoned off.

When The Daily Post arrived a hearse had turned up at the scene.
