Police are investigating after a body was discovered inside a wall in public washroom at a mall in downtown Calgary on Monday. 


The discovery was made at about 9:30 a.m. on the fourth floor washroom at the CORE Shopping Centre at Seventh Avenue and Third Street S.W., police said.


Calgary police spokeswoman Emma Poole said a maintenance worker was called in the morning to fix a toilet that wouldn’t flush in the women’s washroom.


“If you were to look at the toilet, there’s a panel behind it so that when people move, it would automatically flush,” she said.

“When they removed that panel, they found a deceased person behind that wall.”


Officials have not said whether the deceased is male or female.


Police speculate over how person got inside wall


There are no indications that the death is suspicious, but the provincial medical examiner was called to the scene.


The Calgary Fire Department helped to remove the body.


Poole said it’s possible someone crawling through a vent or duct fell from above and got stuck in the wall.


“That would be the most logical at this point is that it was from above,” she said.


“So that is obviously something they would be looking at is someone crawling through the ventilation system.”


This sign was posted to redirect traffic as police investigated. (Anis Heydari/CBC)
