A Chinese man whose body was found in Auckland Harbour has
been identified by a relative this morning.
The 22-year-old Chinese student, who was found on Saturday,
is believed to have drowned but police are still
investigating what led to his death.
Detective Sergeant Scott Hunter said a relative living in New
Zealand had identified the man for police today.
Police will not reveal the student's name until next of kin
have been advised in China.
A public appeal was initiated after no missing person reports
matching the man's description were filed.
Police had released an image of a colourful emblem on the
man's T-shirt in the hope someone would recognise it.
Mr Hunter thanked the public for their support.
