Police are not seeking anyone else at this stage over the death of Timaru man Tony Francis Crammond.

Mr Crammond, 44, died in Timaru Hospital on Saturday night, a short time after being admitted with three knife wounds.

Police and ambulance staff were called to Mr Crammond's Glen St home shortly before 7pm on Saturday.

No charges have been laid in relation to the incident and Detective Senior Sergeant Marion Neill said no-one was being sought in connection to it.

"Police have spoken to a 41-year-old female witness who was present at the address when the incident occurred," Ms Neill said.

While police had recovered a knife from the Glen St address, they have not commented on where on the deceased's body the injuries were.

"Our investigations are focusing on putting together a picture of the circumstances surrounding Mr Crammond's death, both for the purposes of the police investigation and on behalf of the coroner," Ms Neill said.

An autopsy was done in Christchurch on Sunday and the preliminary findings have been forwarded to the coroner.

A team of about 15 police and Environmental Science and Research staff spent Sunday and yesterday at the Glen St address.

The scene examination at the property was expected to be completed last night.
