Jordan Johnson-Doyle, 25, was last seen on May 27 at a bar in an upmarket suburb in the capital, sparking a police probe and a frenzied search by his parents.
Police on Wednesday afternoon “received information that a man was found lying on his back in the lift (shaft) on the ground floor of a (building) construction site,” Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa said in a statement.
Fire and rescue services recovered the body, which was sent for a post mortem, he added.
“The results found that the cause of death was a chest injury sustained from a fall from height,” Rusdi said.
“No criminal elements were found at the scene and the case has been classified as a sudden death report,” he said, adding the body was identified by the victim’s uncle based on a tattoo.
