A man suspected of breaking in at a Scarborough Beach Road industrial site has been found dead on Tuesday.

Police spokesman Graham Clifford said the man “shouldn’t have been” on the premises of electrical business ABB Australia in Osborne Park.

“It looks like an incident of misadventure rather than anything suspicious,” he said.

“He shouldn’t have been there and whatever he was doing caused his death.”

Seargant Grifford said a worker found the man’s body about 7.45am at the site of the electrical transformer manufacturer.

The spokesman said investigations are being conducted by both Worksafe and police the .

He could not confirm reports whether the man was electrocuted or not.
