Fa'anānā Efeso Collins.

A coroner has found that Fa'anānā Efeso Collins died of heart disease, resulting from complications of diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

The former Green Party MP died in February 2024 after suffering a cardiac arrest at a charity event in Auckland's Britomart.

In her findings, Coroner Janet Anderson noted that deaths due to natural causes were not normally the subject of a coronial inquiry.
