A coroner revealed Wednesday that the cause of death remains inconclusive for a newborn allegedly hidden in a closet by a University of Kentucky student-athlete.

The Fayette County Coroner’s Office in Lexington, Kentucky, said in a statement that the autopsy on the male infant was completed, but the findings were inconclusive as extensive microscopic analyses are essential to determine the cause and manner of death.

Officers with the Lexington Police Department took the infant’s mother, Laken Snelling, 21, into custody Sunday after the baby was found dead wrapped in a towel inside a trash bag, WLEX reported. The trash bag was reportedly placed inside a closet.
