A scene exam began this morning and would continue for several days. Officers would be going door to door in the area to seek more information, he said.

They would also be looking for CCTV footage.

"The investigation is in its infancy and it is hoped that a post-mortem examination can be commenced tomorrow.

"We are still working to confirm the man's identity and locate next-of-kin."

A local business owner earlier told the house was reportedly home to Auckland's oldest brothel.
