Melanie Earley Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, well-known Auckland drag queen who was once “the face” of Auckland’s Hero Parade, Wayne Otter has died.

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.
