Detective Inspector Karen Bright said the investigation into the incident on behalf of the Coroner was ongoing and that it would take time to get answers for the family.
"Our deepest condolences are with their family and friends during this difficult time," she said.
"The whānau are being provided with wrap around support which will continue as we piece together the tragic events."
The scene examination at the property was completed with the scene handed back to family on Saturday.
"We would like to acknowledge the community for their outpouring of support for the family as they come to terms with this tragedy."
