Police:
Since 20 April 2017, Police have been
investigating the death of Leslie Gelberger who was struck
by a boat near North Head.
Police sought legal advice from
the Crown Solicitor who considered the law as it relates to
the case.
Following this Police have made the decision
that there is insufficient evidence to file any criminal
charges.
The matter will now be referred to Maritime New
Zealand and the Coroner for their consideration and
therefore Police are unable to make any further comment at
this time.
We have advised Leslie’s family of this
outcome and we continue to offer them support as they grieve
the loss of much loved husband, father and family
member.
They have asked that media refrain from contacting
them and allow them to grieve in
private.
