Police enquiries are underway after a man was found dead at a construction in Hastings earlier this week.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Karli Whiu said police were called to the site at 7pm on Thursday 18 March.
“The man was not an employee at the site and his death is currently being treated as unexplained,” Whiu said.
A scene guard would remain in place while investigators probed the scene.
“Work is under way to formally identify the man and at this stage we are unable to provide any further details regarding his identity,” Whiu said.
Police were asking anyone with relevant information to reach out using the 105 and quote file number 260319/6453.
Information could also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
