The man, a resident of the high-rise, had been suffering from dysentery for the past few days.
He had gone to the top floor for some work when he may have lost control of his bowels, the police suspect.
He sat to defecate on the edge of a shaft near a lift but lost his balance and plunged into a pit on the ground floor, the official said.
After being alerted, police reached the spot and got the man out of the pit with the help of fire brigade personnel. He was taken to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead, the official said.
Police have registered an accidental death report (ADR) and a probe is underway, he added.
