A white Mercedes car parked outside the emergency department in the new Christchurch Hospital building, Waipapa, on Riccarton Ave was cordoned off and guarded by police on Friday morning.
It was later removed by a crane.
Stuff understands that a woman with a white Mercedes had earlier stopped behind a fire truck parked in front of the Canterbury Museum.
She told firefighters, who were responding to a call, that an injured man was in the car.
The woman said she found the man, who was known to her, on the side of a road near Burnham.
Firefighters later helped the woman take the injured man to hospital.
Stuff understands that the man who died had gang ties.
