WINTHROP, Mass. (WHDH) -
Officials said Thursday there is no official cause of death for the young girl whose remains were found on week ago on Deer Island.
A computer-generated image of what officials believe the young girl to look like was released during a news conference with officials on Deer Island.
She was wearing white leggings with black polka dots. The clothing is known to be sold at Target.
Officials said the trash bag the remains were found in contained a fleece blanket with a black and white zebra print on it, which may have been special to the child. They ask that anyone who may have known a child who had such a blanket to contact authorities.
According to authorities, the girl found dead on Deer Island in Boston Harbor was about 4 years old with brown eyes and brown hair that was about 14 inches long. She was most likely Caucasian or Hispanic.
A woman walking her dog on the island discovered the body on Thursday, June 25.
Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley, state police Col. Timothy Alben and Winthrop Police Chief Terence Delehanty said the girl was about 3 1/2 feet tall and weighed just over 30 pounds, which was normal for her height. Her ethnicity isn't yet clear.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has been contacted about this case.
Officials expressed concern about the girl's caretakers and if they have other children in the home. They said it is important to locate that family to make sure other potential children do not come into harm's way.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the State Police, Winthrop Police or the District Attorney's office.
