The Police National Dive Squad was deployed to Lake Pupuke in Takapuna, after the man got into difficulty and disappeared into the water on Tuesday night.
“Despite efforts from his friend, the man disappeared into the water,” police said in a statement on Wednesday.
The body was recovered late on Thursday.
“Our thoughts are with the man’s friends and family at this difficult time, and Police are ensuring there is support for the family in place,” the police said.
Police are referring the man’s death to the coroner.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
