Authorities say the fetus appears to be first-term, approximately three months, and would not have been viable.

The medical examiner will determine the cause of death, but it does not appear to be criminal in nature at this time.

Police have also interviewed former residents of the building, but no one is being held and no charges have been filed.

The investigation is ongoing.
