Police are investigating the death of an infant boy whose body was found in an alley trash bin in a north Las Vegas neighbourhood.
Officer Eric Leavitt said on Monday that police were called a little before 9am on Sunday and investigators think the child was younger than six months old.
The body didn´t show any obvious physical injuries, Leavitt said, and police asked for public help to identify him.
The Clark County coroner´s office is expected in coming days to release his identity and cause and manner of death.
The neighbourhood is about a 20-minute drive north of the Las Vegas Strip.
