The death of a man whose scorched body was discovered, with his hands tied behind his back, inside an under-construction Queens home ravaged by a fire earlier this year has been ruled a homicide, cops said Wednesday.

Firefighters found the still-unidentified man’s body Jan. 20 on the first floor of the two-story colonial home on 217th Street near 104th Avenue in Queens Village, once the blaze was extinguished around 3:15 a.m.

Cops confirmed Wednesday that he suffered blunt force trauma to the head.

No arrests have been made, and cops did not have additional details on his death.
