New Zealand Police

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
