A New Zealand woman on an oxygen machine died after an energy firm switched off her power supply because of unpaid bills, her family claims.
Folole Muliaga, a 44-year-old mother of four, died within two hours of the electricity being switched off at her home in the northern city of Auckland.
Police said they were investigating the circumstances of Mrs Muliaga's death.
The power company, Mercury Energy, said it had been unaware any disconnection would put her life at risk.
