The High Commission says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the diplomatic office in Suva are liaising with Fijian authorities regarding the incident.

It adds that for privacy reasons the New Zealand Government is unable to name the employee or provide any further details.

The NZ High Commission has extended its sympathy to the grieving family of the deceased.

The police investigation continues.
