Man who died in women’s washroom wall climbed into vent

A man whose body was found inside a wall in a women’s washroom in a downtown Calgary shopping centre had crawled in on his own.

Police say his death has been ruled accidental.

His body was found on Monday morning by a maintenance worker who was called to fix a toilet that wouldn’t flush at The Core Shopping Centre.

Investigators say the man entered the women’s washroom Friday evening and it’s believed he climbed on top of a pony wall behind the toilets and removed a vent cover on top of the wall.

Evidence at the scene suggests he then climbed inside the wall where he became stuck and died.

Police say the man’s motivation for crawling inside the wall isn’t known.
