Pedro Cordero died Tuesday afternoon, according to the Clark County coroner’s office. His cause and manner of his death were pending.

The death occurred at the lot filled with hundreds of old vehicles on the 3000 block of Betty Lane, near Nellis Boulevard and East Cheyenne Avenue in northeast Las Vegas, at about 12:45 p.m.
