The fully unclothed man was filmed by a witness climbing out of a water tank on the roof of a Burger King restaurant in Envigado after taking a dip, TMZ reported.

Customers feared he was bathing in water used by Burger King, concerned that this would impact the sanitation of the restaurant’s food or beverages, according to TMZ. Burger King reportedly assured the public the liquid in the water tank was not used to prepare food or clean the establishment, dismissing the risk of contamination.
Despite denying contamination, the Burger King restaurant at which the incident occurred temporarily shuttered as a precautionary measure, TMZ reported. The establishment also reportedly closed off access to its roof to ensure no one takes a bath again. (RELATED: Iconic Grocery Chain Issues Recall Of Customer Favorite)
The fast-food chain released a statement about the incident, according to the outlet.
“Our clientele can rest assured that this was an isolated event, which we deeply regret, and does not affect the quality of our products in any way as we do not use the water from said tank for our operations,” the statement reportedly said. “Our primary concern has always been and will always be the wellbeing of our customers.”
The identity of the naked man has not been determined, nor is it clear whether police are searching for a suspect, TMZ reported.
