A body found inside a burnt out car in the Tasman District has remained where it was found, guarded by police.
The car was discovered around 2pm yesterday, 30-metres down a bank on the Whangamoa Saddle fully engulfed in flame.
Police are still working to establish why the car was down the bank, and how the fire started.
A detailed scene examination will take place today.
