Minnie, that is what the NZ Death Index 1848 to 1964 states on the Ancestry website.   Looking at the tree it is also stated that he came to NZ with his three brothers.   Born Wemyss, Fife, Scotland.  No parents are mentioned nor brothers names.  Marriage 1874.

Family search has his probate by the looks of it .... just enter his first name in.

The Electoral Rolls:

1896 Waikato - Andrew Haddon, Labourer, Taupiri, Louis John Haddon, Farmer

1900 As above

1905-1906 Andrew Haddon, Farmer, Charles, Labourer and Louis John Haddon, Farmer

That is the last time that Louis John Haddon appears on the Roll;

Maybe this is Andrew's death with the alternate spelling

I wonder if the alternate spelling was used? - as checking out the NZ Cities and Area Directories, for Louis, the surname is Hadden

Re Hunterville, Otago. I wasn't doubting you KHP. Truly......

I missed the "NZ Death Index" bit but saw "Ancestry" and thought perhaps someone had submitted incorrect information. And obviously my place name knowledge is lacking. 

Minniehaha.

Didn't think you were Minnie ... I think getting the Death Printout will reveal the right place of death ... I can't seem to find a place of death for him on the locator, and I have done a soundex look.  Unless he is one of the unknown ones on the link that Janette gave?

In saying that he was one of the unknown ones at Taupiri, then that explains why it wouldn't be on the locator when the transcribing was done

ADDED:  The thought did cross my mind that perhaps he was holiday in the South Island when he died, hence the Registration area.
