TULSA - Firefighters recovered a body Monday morning from an abandoned building on north Peoria.

Officials tell 2NEWS two homeless men were in the building at 1400 N. Peoria and one of the men ended up down a shaft with water in the bottom.

Officials are still investigating it but it doesn't appear that the man's death is suspicious.

At this time, investigators are still unsure if the man fell or just went looking around the building and never came up.
