Police were called to the Pickled Parrot Lodge in Newtown about 8.30 last night, after reports of the sudden death.

He says the lodge is a long-term accommodation service, and is unaware of any guests travelling overseas recently.
Health officials wouldn't be drawn on whether the incident is Covid-related, but said any updates would be provided at today's 1pm press conference.
