Investigators are not treating the 21-year-old French tourist's death as a suicide, and instead believe it was a case of misadventure.
The man broke into the site on Sunday evening before climbing the crane.
A police spokesman could not confirm a Nine News report that the man was taking a selfie when he fell.
His body was discovered about 6am on Monday.
A report is being prepared for the coroner.
Queensland Police issued a warning to the public in 2013 after an increase in "roof topping" and "sky walking", a trend where people scale dangerous heights and take photos to be shared on social media.
1 William Street was dubbed the Tower of Power after it was commissioned by the former Newman Government as a replacement to the Queensland Executive Building on George Street.
The building will be 258 metres high when it is complete next year.
Last week the Palaszczuk Government announced it would be filled entirely by public servants.
