Man's body found stuck in Twin Cities chimney

Authorities have removed the body of a man that was found stuck in the chimney of a Brooklyn Center apartment building.

Police were called by the building's management about 10 a.m. Wednesday about a squatter who had been seen hanging around the property.

When police investigated, they saw a roof access door had been broken into. On the roof, they saw a pile of clothing near a chimney, and found a man's body inside the chimney.

KSTP-TV reports there's no word on the man's identity or how long his body has been stuck in the chimney.
