An autopsy Thursday determined that a man found dead after a garage fire Wednesday morning in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood had been strangled, authorities said.

The man's body was found badly burned about 7 a.m. after firefighters put out a fire near 21st Street and Homan Avenue, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Rich Rosado said.

The death of the unidentified man was ruled a homicide, according to a Cook County medical examiner's office spokeswoman.

Strangled? I wonder if he was set on fire or the fire engulfed him. Probably not related but just recently two women were found not too far apart in dumpsters and their bodies were burned. Very close in time frame too. Hope they can ID him.
