has abstract	On 31 August 1974, Norman Kirk, the 29th Prime Minister of New Zealand, died unexpectedly after a period of poor health. He was just 51 years old. The death led to an outpouring of grief, and damaged the Labour Party so severely that they lost the 1975 election in a wipeout. His state funeral was held on 4 September 1974. Having struggled sporadically with obesity and occupational burnout throughout his life, from 1974 Kirk suddenly developed difficulty in breathing, eating and sleeping, which rapidly got worse. His intense workload meant he rarely took time off, but had finally given in to pressure from his colleagues and begun a six-week holiday by August 1974. His health rapidly deteriorated thereafter, and he died in hospital in Island Bay by the end of the month. Kirk's physician Tom O'Donnell determined that the Prime Minister had died of a pulmonary embolism. His death was announced the following day, and deeply shocked the nation. Kirk's state funeral was held in Wellington on 4 September 1974; due to the combination of Māori cultural rites with Pākehā ones, it was considered a tangi by many Traditional Māori aspects of the funeral included kaikaranga, waiata and whaikōrero, and were accordant to the practises of the mana whenua of each funeral location (In Wellington, Te Ati Awa, and in Christchurch, Kāi Tahu).
