Police investigating the unexplained death of 40-year-old Dunedin man David Noah are strongly urging those with information to come forward, as enquiries indicate there are people who know what happened in the hours leading up to his death.
Detective Senior Sergeant Hayden Smale says investigators have built a clearer picture of Mr Noah’s movements before he was found deceased on Leckhampton Court on Wednesday 30 September, but critical questions remain unanswered.
