A full-term male baby was discovered dead in a toilet block at a camping ground on 27 January 2008. The infant was born alive sometime between 1:00 and 8:30 AM that morning, with the placenta found separately nearby. Despite extensive investigation and comprehensive autopsy including forensic pathology, entomology, radiology, histopathology, and toxicology, the cause of death could not be determined. The mother's identity was never established. No witnesses observed the mother entering or leaving the campsite. The coroner was unable to determine how the death occurred or its cause.
