An investigation is under way into a sudden death at a property in Christchurch this morning.
Police were called to the property on Wolcot St in Woolston at about 5pm on Monday. A woman in her 60's was found dead.
A spokesperson said at this stage the death is being treated as unexplained.
A post-mortem examination will be conducted to establish the cause of death.

A post mortem examination was carried out yesterday to try and establish their cause of death - and when they died.
The case has been referred to the Coroner.
