A 19-year-old man has died overnight after being fatally injured in a fight at a party in south Auckland.

The fight occurred at about 12am on Saturday morning in the suburb of Favona, near Mangere.

The man was rushed to Middlemore Hospital, where he later died.

Counties Manukau police have launched an investigation, and are carrying out a scene examination and enquiries on Saturday.

A post-mortem is also expected to be completed by the end of the day, which is likely to reveal the cause of death.

Earlier, the police described the man's death as "unexplained", before releasing a follow-up statement when they learned more about the incident.
