Las Vegas medical examiners will be doing an autopsy to see if a baby found dead in the bathroom of on of the Vegas strip casinos was alive or dead at the time it was abandoned. The child seems to be a new born child and investigators are trying to find out the circumstances surrounding the baby's abandonment on Mothers day.
The new born baby boy was found by a casino worker who was cleaning the ladies room Sunday night around 9:30 pm when he found the dead baby wrapped in a casino gift bag and a pillow case inside the garbage can of the restroom located near the elevators in the Excalibur Hotel and casino.
Authorities are looking into whether the child was born in the casino or if someone brought the child into the casino from the street before abandoning it in the ladies rest room. Police are using all the means at their disposal in attempt to bring those responsible for this Childs death to justice. One of the lead detectives on this case said the police are checking over all of the casinos surveillance taps in an attempt to identify who left the child, what time the child was left and whether or not the child was alive at the time of its abandonment.
Police are hoping someone who saw this taking place or for the child's mother to come forward and shine some light on how the child died and came to be left in a casino bathroom.
But he says detectives may need a lucky break—like the mother coming forward, or someone who noticed something wrong calling in a tip.
