Police are not seeking anyone else over the fatal stabbing of a 44-year-old Timaru man after speaking to a woman who was present during the death.

Tony Francis Crammond died in Timaru Public Hospital after he was found stabbed at a property in the suburb of Marchwiel on Saturday evening.

Detective Senior Sergeant Marion Neill said investigators had spoken to a 41-year-old woman who was at the house when Mr Crammond died.

They had also recovered a knife from the property.

No-one had been charged over the incident and nobody else was being sought over the stabbing, Ms Neill said.

"Our investigations are focusing on putting together a picture of the circumstances surrounding Mr Crammond's death, both for the purposes of the police investigation and on behalf of the coroner."

Police said a post-mortem examination has been carried out on Mr Crammond's body and results have been forwarded to the coroner.

A scene examination at the property was expected to be finished today, police said.

About 15 police and ESR staff were working on the investigation.
