The autopsy was completed on Tuesday, officials said.

There were no obvious signs of death, investigators said, prompting them to check toxicology reports for the presence of drugs within the child’s body.

The child was found by a person who told authorities they were mushroom hunting near a heavily wooded area of Washington County at around 7.30pm on April 17.

Washington County deputies responded before Indiana State Police were called to investigate.

The boy child is described as a young, Black male between the ages of five and eight. He is about four feet tall with a slim build and short haircut.

It’s believed by investigators the boy died sometime within the last week.

The site where the boy was found is about 70 miles south of Indianapolis and 25 miles northwest of Louisville.

“This obviously could be a national thing,” Indiana State Police Sargent Carey Huls told WAVE News on April 18.

“It could be a child from any location. We’re not going to preclude anybody, and we’re going to look at any information that comes in that could answer the question of the identity of this child.”

Indiana State Police have set up a tip line specifically for this case.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call (888) 437-6432.

WAVE News reports more than 200 calls have been made, but the child’s identity remains a mystery.
