A dead man was found inside a burning dumpster in Queens Monday morning, authorities said.
Firefighters responded to a 6:55 a.m. 911 call about a fire next to a strip mall on North Conduit Ave. near Springfield Blvd., FDNY officials said.
They quickly put out the blaze in the dumpter and found the man dead inside the trash receptacle.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the man was the victim of a crime, police said.
Cops are working to identify the man and the city Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine how he died.
