Autopsy on slain Florida girl inconclusive

An autopsy for slain toddler Caylee Anthony says duct tape was placed on the girl's face after her body began to decompose.

An autopsy for slain toddler Caylee Anthony showed that duct tape was placed on the girl's face after her body began to decompose.

The report released Friday agrees with authorities' contention the girl was killed, but still doesn't say how she died.

Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland ordered the autopsy report to be made public. The child's grandparents fought against its release.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, has been charged in the girl's death. She has pleaded not guilty and says a baby sitter kidnapped her toddler.

Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty if she is convicted of first-degree murder.
