A 25-year-old man has died in circumstances that remain “inexplicable” in Naenae.
A tent had been set up at the rear of the property along with screens to block out the scene from Naenae Elementary School, which overlooks the property.
Principal Murray Bootten said his school was continuing normally.
A neighbor at the cul-de-sac said she saw the emergency services flashing lights around 11 p.m. from her living room window.
“Before we knew it, there were a lot of policemen, both of them and sniffer dogs,” he said.

A female police officer was guarding the cordon set up in a quiet cul-de-sac in Lower Hutt on Tuesday morning.
Emergency services worked late into the night and were still there early in the morning, he added.
Another neighbor said she looked out the window at 11:30 and saw “police cars for Africa.”
An information appeal has been launched.
