The body of a man who died at a Papatoetoe Z service station early this morning has been removed.

Police are treating the death as unexplained after they were called to the East Tamaki Rd service station about 5am. The service station was initially cordoned off and closed to the public as police examined the scene.

The cordons had since been removed and the service station had reopened.

A post mortem was expected to be undertaken early next week.
