A BRITISH couple have been found dead at home in New Zealand, after worried family members alerted the cops.
The couple were found in a residential property in Roseneath, the shore-front region of Wellington on Monday.
A family member is understood to have contacted the police after being concerned for the couple’s welfare.
Tributes have since poured in for the British couple, thought to be in their late 30s or early 40s.
The couple’s landlord paid tribute to the pair, describing them as being “passionate about being in New Zealand and giving their family the experience of living here”.
The landlord continued: “He was a clever, caring, charming man. She was vibrant, kind, intelligent and both of them made friends wherever they went.
“They were both absolutely wonderful human beings. Both they and their family lived life to the absolute full and were always planning or doing amazing adventures
“They were both such positive and incredible parents, friends, and members of many communities.
“We send our love and condolences to their family and friends.”
The couple’s neighbour, Paul Prestige, also spoke highly of the Brits and described them as “very friendly people”.
He added that he would have dinner parties them.
Prestige said the couple had a son who did not live with them.
It is not currently known how the pair died.
But a detective from New Zealand Police assured residents they were not at risk.
Haley Ryan said: “I want to provide assurance that there is no ongoing risk to the Roseneath community.”
