Forensic teams were at the scene all Monday - including detectives, ESR and photography - and they are likely to continue working at the scene for a number of days.

It is anticipated a post-mortem will take place in Auckland today and that will assist police to determine the cause of death.

Police ask any witnesses to what happened, or anyone with any information, to contact Te Awamutu Police on 872 0100, or Crimestoppers, anonymously if necessary, on 0800 555 111.
