Police are investigating a sudden death outside a block of flats in Christchurch

Officers were called around 7.30 am after the body of a man was discovered on Glue Place.

A ZB reporter on scene says police are removing the body from one of several small units on the quiet cul-de-sac.

She says access to the road is limited due to a lot of roadworks on nearby Sparks Road.

Police say the death of the man, who is in his 60's, is not suspicious.
