A man has died at Auckland’s Piha beach after getting into trouble in the water, Stuff reports. A police spokesperson said they received a report at 8.15am on Monday, that a person had got into difficulty in the water off Marine Parade. Surf Lifesaving New Zealand spokesman Daniel Short said the man had been wearing a lifejacket, and was found near the rocks at Piha. The popular beach is about a 40-minute drive from Auckland’s CBD, in West Auckland, and can be dangerous when the surf is running high.
