One of Wellington's most famous street personalities has died.
Better known as Blanket Man, Ben Hana passed away yesterday in Wellington Hospital.
He was a fixture of inner city Wellington for over a decade.
A worshipper of Tama-nui-te-ra, the Maori sun god, Mr Hana could almost always be found sitting on Courtenay Place, listening to music with a can of energy drink by his side.
Last year he was committed to Wellington Hospital's mental health ward for assessment and treatment.
On his release, it seemed like little about Blanket Man had changed and he still enjoyed his life on the street with his only companion, his iconic blanket.
Although a father of four, Ben Hana had long been estranged from his family.
Now the man who divided a city with his very presence is gone.
It's not yet known whether a funeral service will be held for Mr Hana. |
