WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 4 (UPI) -- An autopsy on the body of a baby found seven months ago in a Florida sugar cane field has revealed little about her.

The cause of the infant girl’s death has been listed as “undetermined,” The Palm Beach Post reported. A report by Dr. Stuart Graham, an associate Palm Beach County medical examiner, said that she had been conceived about seven months before her death but was unclear whether she was born dead or alive.

A construction crew found the tiny body in a Big John’s Pickled Sausage Jar on Feb. 26.

The autopsy report lists nothing found with the baby except the pickled sausage jar. The umbilical cord was still attached and had not been tied or clamped.

The baby has not been identified or claimed.
