French boy's death unresolved despite discovery of skull, clothes

Hindustan Times  

The cause of death of a two-and-a-half year old boy who went missing in a French Alpine village last summer remains unexplained despite the discovery of his skull and clothes, the prosecutor said Tuesday. In a major breakthrough, a walker found the boy's skull and teeth some 25 minutes walk from the village at the weekend and investigators later discovered his clothes in the area. But the skull and teeth found so far "do not indicate what the cause of the death of Emile was," Aix-en-Provence prosecutor Jean-Luc Blanchon told reporters in the southern French city. Blachon said that the woman who found the remains had "carefully" put the skull into a plastic bag before returning to her home with it and calling the gendarmerie.
