A man found dead Sunday at the Pinewood Apartments near Swenson Street and Twain Avenue was identified Monday by the Clark County coroner’s office as 36-year-old Jose Chan-Dzul.

The coroner’s office hasn’t determined the cause of death for the Las Vegas man.

No additional details were released about Chan-Dzul’s death or Lara-Caamal’s arrest.
