Attributed to Detective Senior Sergeant Tim
Leitch.
Wellington Police are continuing to
investigate the circumstances leading to the death of a
19-year-old man at a Strathmore house on Friday morning (17
November).
The man had been involved in a family
harm-related incident with a family member prior to the
incident which caused his death.
The information
gathered to date indicates that the man died as a result of
injuries sustained accidentally and Police will be referring
his death to the Coroner.
A scene examination at the
house has been completed, and Police are continuing to
conduct interviews with family members of the deceased man,
as well as residents of neighbouring properties.
A
post mortem will be conducted tomorrow (Monday 20
November).
On behalf of Police, I want to extend our
sincere sympathies to the family and loved ones of this
young man, and ask that they be given the time and space
they need as they
grieve.

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
