Otter, 69 – who was also known as Miss K, or The Divine Miss K – has been described as a “national gay icon”, by his daughter, Sophie Otter.
“My dad was the face of Auckland’s Hero Parade throughout the 90s and was also the celebrant for one of New Zealand’s first gay marriages,” she said.
Otter had been found dead on the driveway of one of his lifelong friends on the morning of April 4 in Auckland. His daughter said he’d had many health issues in the lead up to his death.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
