Police are urging a group who may have been at the address of an unexplained death in the Auckland suburb of Devonport to come forward.

Officers were called to 9 Kerr Street about 11pm on New Year's Day.

Detective Inspector Aaron Pascoe said police believe a group - including an adult and at least two children - may have visited the address earlier in the day, and used the pool.

"We do not believe these people were present at the address at the time of the death, however we are asking that they come forward to enable Police to confirm their movements and any observations they may have made."
