A spokesman said a man's body was found at the site and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

It was believed the man, who was not a member of staff, had "fallen from height" after entering the site late on Tuesday.

His death was not believed to be suspicious, West Yorkshire Police said.

A cordon and road closure that was in place this morning has now been lifted.

The Sun has approached West Yorkshire Police for comment.
