Post mortem to be held after death of party-goer

11:07 am on 17 October 2008

A post mortem is to be held on Friday after the death of a young woman at a party in Mt Maunganui.

Emergency services were called shortly after 7.30pm to an address where about 40 teenagers were attending the party.

Police say many were intoxicated but there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances.

A post mortem will be held on Friday on the woman, who was aged 18.

Investigators hope to know more once a post mortem is completed.

Four people, including an occupant of the house, face un-related charges of assaulting police, resisting arrest, disorderly behaviour and breaching the peace.
