WTOL-TV reports a coroner conducted an autopsy but couldn't determine the cause of death because of decomposition. Authorities weren't sure how long the child was in the car.

Police Lt. Daniel Gerken told The Blade newspaper that officers are investigating whether there is any connection between the child and the owner of the vehicle.
