WEST PALM BEACH - A medical examiner on Wednesday listed the cause of death as undetermined for a female fetus whose remains were found in a pickle jar in February.
The 7-month-old fetus had light skin, curly black hair and almost 3 inches of umbilical cord still attached. Salicylates, a compound commonly found in painkillers, was discovered in the fetus's chest and abdominal fluid, according to the report.
A construction crew discovered the 2-gallon jar while working on State Road 80.
