A fatal blaze in Auckland last week is not suspicious, police say.

Emergency services were called to a garage on fire on Tamaki Avenue in Ōtāhuhu last Wednesday night.

A person was found dead inside.

“Our thoughts are with the deceased’s family and friends at this sad time,” police said.

“The death will be referred to the coroner.”
