Inconclusive Post-Mortem in Auckland Death Investigation
The post-mortem of a 59-year-old woman, Leiann Rae Davis, who was found dead in an Auckland apartment block last week, has been described as 'inconclusive' by police. Emergency services discovered Davis unresponsive at an apartment on Cracroft St, Parnell, on Thursday night. The circumstances surrounding her death remain under investigation and are currently unexplained, according to Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Friend.
The police are awaiting detailed pathology results to determine the cause of death, which has left the community in a state of uncertainty. A funeral for Davis was held at the weekend, marking the end of a difficult chapter for her loved ones. The family has been left grappling with the emotional toll of the loss, compounded by the lack of clarity surrounding her passing.

In a statement, they emphasized that while the death is under police investigation, it would be inappropriate for them to comment further. They have directed any inquiries to the police for accurate and up-to-date information.
