Canterbury Police are continuing to investigate the sudden death of a man at a residential address on Eastern Terrace in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The circumstances of the man’s death remain unclear, and Police are working to understand what occurred in the lead-up to this incident.

Officers are particularly focused on tracing the man’s movements over the past two weeks and are appealing to the public for any information that may assist. “We are committed to establishing the full circumstances surrounding this man’s death,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Daniel Overend. “This is a perplexing case, and we are keeping an open mind as we work through a number of inquiries.”

As part of the investigation, Police are conducting an area canvas of the Eastern Terrace neighbourhood to identify anyone who may have seen or interacted with the deceased in recent weeks.

For two decades, Aotearoa’s favourite feathery showdown has crowned our top bird ... and the competition has never been fiercer.

Behind the fun is a serious mission. Many of New Zealand’s native species are in serious trouble. Bird of the Year raises awareness of their habitats, the threats they face, and how we can protect our feathered taonga. Important work that we love seeing!

Who was last year’s champ? 🏆 The Yellow-eyed penguin, one of the world’s rarest penguins. But this year, Neighbourly is keeping a close eye on another ocean wanderer: the Tītī (Cook’s petrel).

Who is getting your vote this year? 🐦💛
