The cause of death is still pending, but police do know he was dead before the fire in the trash bin was started.

Workers from a business located near the trash bin discovered the fire early June 25 and extinguished it. One worker then looked into the smoldering container and saw a body.

Gornik was wrapped in a blanket and other clothing, police said.

The construction worker had lived in Las Vegas for the last four months.

Police are seeking information about Gornik's job and his friends.
