Police are trying to identify a man who died Wednesday while in a trash container that caught fire behind a Crestwood convenience store.
Firefighters discovered the body after they extinguished the fire behind the Shop-Mart, 13650 Cicero Ave., shortly after midnight.
Cmdr. John Palcu, of the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force, said police are not sure whether the man was killed or his death was accidental. Crestwood police are assisting in the investigation.
The body contained no identification. Police described the victim as black, in his late 20s or early 30s, 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing about 285 pounds. His clothing had been burned off.
Police ran his description through a statewide missing-persons database but did not find a match, Palcu said.
A passing driver spotted the container fire and called the fire department, police said. Firefighters arrived at 12:05 a.m. and extinguished the fire two minutes later.
Autopsy results show the man inhaled smoke before he died, Palcu said, which suggests that he was breathing when the fire started.
"If he was passed out (before the fire), I don't know. There was not a lot of trauma on the body," Palcu said.
At the request of the Cook County medical examiner's office, the body was transported to the morgue in the trash bin on top of a flat-bed truck. The body was initially examined inside the container on Wednesday morning.
Shop-Mart workers said they didn't see anything unusual when closing the store two hours before the body was discovered. Assistant manager Kaushik Patel said he emptied garbage into the container at 4 p.m. Tuesday and didn't notice anything.

So if you can find the exact center of the earth does it just fall down?...Now you know and understand my trying to keep this experiment under my hat. By the way a used dumpster might come in handy if you know of any...JW
