Ottawa, Canada — A maintenance worker called in to fix a broken toilet at a mall in the western Canadian City of Calgary made a gruesome discovery behind a wall on Monday: a body.

The adult male body was found in the morning hours in the women’s washroom near a fourth floor food court at the CORE shopping complex.

Police said workers had removed a panel behind a self-flushing toilet to access the wall and determine why it wasn’t working. Firefighters were called in to assist with the body’s removal.
