A man has been charged with murder after a death in the Auckland suburb of New Lynn.
Emergency services were called to a property in Kaponga Crescent at about 11.52am on Monday after a report a person had been injured.
Acting Detective Inspector Simon Harrison, of Waitematā CIB, says despite the best efforts from first responders, the man died at the scene.
A 28-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with murder, Harrison said.
Police were not seeking anyone else over the death.

A scene examination was continuing and a post-mortem examination and formal identification of the victim would be carried out on Tuesday.
"Police will likely be able to release more details about the man after these processes have been completed," Harrison said.
A police presence would remain in the area during the probe, he said.
The man appeared in Waitākere District Court on Tuesday and was remanded in custody to appear in the High Court at Auckland on 22 October.
