A man’s body has been found lodged behind the wall of a woman’s toilet in a Canadian shopping centre, police said.

A maintenance worker made the discovery in the retail complex in central Calgary on Monday.

He removed a wall panel to repair a toilet that would not flush before discovering the body.

The man’s cause of death is not yet known. Officers said a post-mortem examination would be carried out on Tuesday.

A Calgary police spokeswoman told CBC News they believed it was possible someone was crawling through a vent or duct, fell from above and became stuck behind the wall.

Local police said in statement: "Despite the circumstances of where the body was located, investigators do not suspect foul play and the death remains classified as undetermined."
