(CNN) An unidentified child who was found dead in a suitcase last month in southern Indiana died from electrolyte imbalance, officials said Friday. The autopsy of the boy, believed to be about 5 years old, shows that the electrolyte imbalance was likely caused by viral gastroenteritis, the Indiana State Police said in a news release . The autopsy report also indicated there was no significant traumatic injuries, meaning there was no anatomical cause of death, the police said. The child's body was found in rural Washington County inside a hard-shell suitcase with a "distinctive Las Vegas design on its front and back," police said at the time. State police were called to investigate after a resident who was mushroom hunting discovered the suitcase on April 16 and immediately called 911, the agency said.
