One person is facing assault charges in relation to the death of another person in Paengaroa last month.

Police were called to a property on Showground Rd in the evening of July 24.

At the time, officers in boiler suits were seen examining a property where a tent had been erected.

Two weeks since the death, police say they are still piecing together what happened at the Western Bay of Plenty address.

In a statement to SunLive this morning, police say a 47-year-od man has been charged with “assault in relation to the incident”.

The man is due to appear in Tauranga District Court today.

“Police are still investigating the full circumstances surrounding the death.”
