The body of a man found at a property in Dunedin on Monday had been there for some time.
Police were called to Hillary Street, in the suburb of Liberton, at 9am on Monday morning.
The man's death is being treated as unexplained, but police said they did not believe there was any ongoing risk to public safety.
