Police identify body found in trash bin

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.
