An airport janitor found the man slumped over in a stall around 7:45 a.m. inside a restroom located in Terminal 3, before the screening area, according to Albert Rodriguez, a spokesman for LAX.

Airport police, who were initially called to investigate the discovery, notified the LAPD's Robbery Homicide division, Rodriguez said.

A public records search by the Daily Breeze found that Nguyen was an Asian refugee who came to the United States sometime between 1975 and 1979.
