The death of a person in council-owned flats in Wellington is not being treated as suspicious, police say.

Police conducted a scene examination at Newtown Park Apartments on Mansfield St last Friday after the discovery of a man’s body on Thursday night.

The death was initially being treated as unexplained but following police inquiries, the death was not being treated as suspicious, a police spokesperson said.

“Police are not seeking anyone in relation to this incident and the matter has been referred to the coroner.”
