Vasa Fia Collins speaks to media after a coronial conference into her husband's death.
Fa'anānā Efeso Collins was beloved by his family - a Sāmoan matai, former Green MP and Auckland community leader.
He died on 21 February, 2024 after suffering a cardiac arrest while taking part in a fun run organised by ChildFund.
The findings of a coronial inquiry were released earlier this week and they concluded he died of cardiac arrest.
It was not possible to conclude he would have survived if defibrillation had been applied earlier, the Coroner said, but organisers had taken adequate measures.
