It is thought the male, who was not an employee at the website, had actually ‘fallen from height’ after getting in the website late on Tuesday.
The website on Central Road in Leeds city centre is thought to be the old House of Fraser website where HG Construction is developing a 370-bed trainee space plan.
A representative for West Yorkshire Police stated: “At 7.54 am today, cops got a report of the body of a guy having actually been discovered at a building website in Central Road in Leeds city centre.
“The male was noticable dead at the scene. He is thought to have actually gone into the website last night and fallen from height from a crane. He was not a member of personnel operating at the website.
An authorities cordon and roadway closure remain in location while the cops examine, however the occurrence is not thought to be suspicious.
