Dear Mr Thornley
Thank you for your request below. Police does not hold the information
you have sought. The determination as to whether a death is by suicide is
not made by Police. The information you have requested is more closely
connected with the functions of the Ministry of Justice and I have
therefore transferred your request to the Ministry under section 14 of the
Official Information Act 1982.
Ngā mihi
