Mark Jones is a wood carver and laments the loss of his workshop which was razed by an unattended candle. When they returned home, they noticed smoke coming from inside the house. They went inside to investigate and discovered flames and thick smoke. Halatanu then told Turangakino to get out of the house, which she did. However, he remained inside. He continued to call out to Turangakino for a period, however eventually went quiet. Turangakino was unable to go back into the house to assist Halatanu. His body was later recovered by firefighters.

Green was given a 20-year sentence for his robberies, but was living out in the community in recent years. He died shortly after being discovered by fellow career criminal Arthur Taylor at Green s Papatoetoe flat, after a report that Green hadn’t been seen in weeks. Taylor discovered Green in a bad state and emergency services were called. According to a coroner’s report, Green was cachectic (physically wasted), dehydrated, malnourished, and hypothermic when discovered; his death was directly caused by oesophageal cancer, and contributed to by pneumonia, and cardiovascular disease. Green had considerable health issues including diabetes, asthma, osteoarthritis, hernia and dementia.
