Police reveal identity of body found in concrete under Mt Eden house
Hi neighbours,
Police have confirmed the identity of a body found encased in concrete in Auckland’s Mt Eden earlier this year.
The deceased was David Stanley Hart – the former owner of a boarding house at the Marlborough St property.
Hart’s remains were originally uncovered by a digger on January 31 while the current owner was doing renovations. Police are treating Hart’s death as suspicious.
Police say his cause of death was still unknown – as was how he came to be entombed under his home.
Construction work on the property had been going on for at least a month before the discovery was made.
The house is about 100 years old and was bought by its current owner about two years ago.

Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
