CALGARY, Alberta - Canadian law enforcement officials have ruled out foul play in the death of a man whose body was found Monday inside the wall of a restroom at a mall in Calgary.

The Calgary Herald reported that the man was found after a worker was called to fix a toilet that wouldn’t flush in a fourth-floor women’s restroom in the Core Shopping Centre food court. The worker removed a panel of the wall and found the body.

Officials with the Calgary Police Service said that the unnamed man, who was in his 20s, entered the restroom the Friday before he was found.

“Once inside the washroom, it is believed that he climbed on top of a pony wall which was directly behind the toilets and removed a vent cover, which was located on top of the wall,” police officials said on Facebook. “The pony wall, used to hide utilities, is approximately 7 (feet) tall and is not connected to the ceiling and has no other access points.

“Based on evidence at the scene, officers believe the victim then climbed inside the pony wall through the vent opening where he became stuck and later died.”

His reason for climbing inside the wall was not known.

became stuck and ‘later died’? He coulodn’t yell, scream, or bang on the walls to attract attention?

I think that guys wearing Trudeau socks would be spying on men,not women.

Maybe in this mall they are closed on weekends and there was no one to hear?

A little free peep show would be my guess.

When your date is so bad that you try to escape through the restroom vent.

[Kickass Conservative]

Great minds...

I was four seconds too late.

[GnuThere]

If he had been left there longer, he would have been a Seeping Tom instead of a Peeping Tom.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I think I know how he may have died.

“What I think it looked like:

Imagine being the janitor who removed the metal plate from the wall, only to find a dead man, mute and staring at him, eyes and mouth still open! I can hear the loud violin screechings from The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.
