Investigators say the little boy died from an electrolyte imbalance. The medical examiner says that the imbalance was most likely due to a \\u201cviral gastroenteritis\\u201d caused by excessive vomiting or diarrhea.\\xa0

Toxicology tests came back negative and the boy had no severe injuries. Police do not believe the boy was alive when he was placed inside the suitcase.\\xa0

A mushroom hunter found the hardshell suitcase, which features the famous \\u201cWelcome to Las Vegas\\u201d sign. The boy\'s mother posted online recently saying she believed the child was really a 100-year-old demon.
