    Napier Police continue their push for people to come forward, who witnessed a man fall off a mattress on top of a moving car -- to his death


    Emergency services were called to Marewa's Nuffield Avenue around 9pm Friday, where the man was found in a critical condition.

    He was unable to be resuscitated and died at the scene. It's understood he was travelling on top of a black station wagon.

    Officers ask anyone who spotted the vehicle, or the man travelling on it, to come forward -- as they piece together what happened.
