'Transient' Man Dies during Eclipse Screening

A 23-year-old man has died during a screening of Twilight: Eclipse in Wellington, New Zealand. Police have not released the man's name.

The man, described as a "transient" by police, had come to the Reading Cinema at Courtenay Place alone, and was discovered dead once the movie had ended and the patrons had left the auditorium. There was no evidence of foul play, nor was there any indication of how he had died.

A post-mortem examination this afternoon may shed more light on what caused his death.

"There are no obvious injuries to this person. And we are looking at this as an unexplained death," Mr Miller said.

There was no indication of anything unusual which occurred at the cinema. Police did not release the man's name as they were unable to reach his next of kin yesterday.
