The body of a 3-year-old girl was brought into the Roy L. Schneider Hospital late Tuesday night in an advanced state of decomposition.
The mother reportedly told police the child died Friday of a seizure. The girl reportedly had a history of seizures.
The mother said she panicked when her daughter died and she put the child's body in a bushy area in Solberg.
Police and hospital authorities were notified of the child's death by the child's grandmother and uncle, who said the mother eventually told them about it.
The mother led the relatives to the body after they questioned her about where she had taken it.
Investigation Bureau detectives, forensics agents and Major Crime Unit
investigators were all summoned to the hospital when the body was brought there by one of the girl's parents.
Sources have said the police will rely upon results of an autopsy to determine if the death was the result of foul play.
