"Four investigations are under way after a 27-year-old man died shortly after police abandoned a pursuit in Hamilton just before four o'clock this afternoon. Inspector Leo Tooman says a Mazda was spotted being driven in a manner that caused concern and a patrol car began to pursue it. He says it appears the pursuing officer had concerns about the man's driving and after two minutes gave up the chase.
