A media appeal in relation to a man found dead in Tauranga Harbour on Saturday has resulted in him being identified.
Police can now confirm the body is that of a 29-year-old Tauranga man. Work is underway to ensure all next of kin are aware and his name will not be released until that process is complete.
A post mortem examination will be a carried out later today to establish how the man died. It is too early to say if the death is suspicious.
Police would like to thank the media for their assistance in this matter.
Media enquiries should be referred to District Communications Manager Kim Perks on 027 234 8256.
