Police have confirmed the identity of a body found encased in concrete in Auckland’s Mt Eden earlier this year.
The deceased was David Stanley Hart – the former owner of a boarding house at the Marlborough St property.
Hart’s remains were originally uncovered by a digger on January 31 while the current owner was doing renovations. Police are treating Hart’s death as suspicious.
Police say his cause of death was still unknown – as was how he came to be entombed under his home.
Construction work on the property had been going on for at least a month before the discovery was made.
The house is about 100 years old and was bought by its current owner about two years ago.

A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables
Hi neighbours,
Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.
Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.
Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.
When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.
“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”
