Meanwhile, the body has been taken to the local Forensic Institute and is waiting to be identified.

Investigators have yet to confirm the man’s cause of death. His exact age has not been reports but he is believed to be in his late teens.

The working theory is that the teenager was looking for something in the container when his head got stuck.
