A man has been found dead in Rotorua's central city.
Emergency services were called to Haupapa St, near the intersection with Ranolf St, at 5.12pm today after reports of a man falling off his bike, a police spokesman said.
He said police could now confirm the man had died.
Thespokesman said police inquiries were in their early stages.
A police spokesman told the Rotorua Daily Post earlier at the scene they knew nothing about the man at this stage, only he had been riding a bike and had been found on the footpath by a passerby.
A woman, who was a registered nurse, spoken to by the Rotorua Daily Post said she found the man and performed CPR on him but she didn't want to comment further.
A Rotorua Daily Post reporter at the scene said St John Ambulance staff performed CPR for about half an hour before the man's body was put into a waiting ambulance.
