Emergency services are at a house in the Christchurch suburb of Redwood where a person has died.

A member of the public called police after finding the person dead in the house on Momorangi Crescent.

A police spokeswoman said they received the call just before 2pm after reports of a loud bang.

The death isn't believed to be suspicious. 

Fire and Emergency NZ Southern shift manager Riwai Grace confirmed the fire service had attended the incident but referred all questions to police.

A spokesman for St John said a unit had been called to assist emergency services and one was on scene, however, they are not acting on anything.

He said someone had died at the property, therefore comment would have to come from police.

Facebook users reported seeing an ambulance, two special paramedic units, five police cars and a fire engine heading towards the scene.

The police spokeswoman said it was unclear at this stage what had happened.
