A suburban Hamilton street was cordoned off today as Police commenced a scene examination at first light following a suspicious death in the City overnight.
Detective Senior Sergeant Karl Thornton of the Hamilton CIB said emergency services were called to an Enderley address shortly before midnight.
"On arrival officers found a 42-year-old man suffering from a number of serious injuries.
"Taken to Waikato Hospital by ambulance, he died a short time later. We are treating his death as suspicious and hope to get a better understanding of the nature of his injuries following a post-mortem examination."
Mr Thornton said scene guards secured the property overnight and Auckland based forensic experts have assisted with a scene examination which commenced this morning.
