BEAUMONT (March 3, 2013)—A man whose body was found in a trash bin in Beaumont evidently died from smoke inhalation and the fire appears to have been accidental, authorities said.
Police identified the man whose body was found Tuesday in the trash bin as Karl Aldrich Lillyquist, Jr., 58.
Firefighters discovered his body after extinguishing the blaze in the trash bin at a gas station in the early morning hours.
The business was closed at the time of the fire and a neighbor reported the fire.
