The Clark County coroner’s office said Tuesday it was unable to determine a cause and manner of death for a 6-month-old girl found last summer at an east Las Vegas home.

Autumn Harris was found dead July 30 in the front room of a home in the Boulder Pines Apartments after police were called for a report of a dead body, the Review-Journal previously reported.

“A concern was noted that parenting practices may have contributed to the child’s death,” a Department of Family Services report said at the time.

It is unclear if Las Vegas police had made any arrests regarding the death.
