An autopsy for a 3-year-old boy whose body was abandoned at a Brooklyn hospital was inconclusive Wednesday as cops continue to search for the child’s mother, officials said.
Further testing will need to be done to determine how little Kyng Royal Foster died, a spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner said.
Cops want to question the child’s mother and her boyfriend, who they believe dropped the tot off at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in East Flatbush just before 11:25 a.m. Sunday.
The couple took off in a four-door sedan with Pennsylvania license plates that don’t match the vehicle, according to police sources.
Medical staff pronounced Kyng dead shortly after he arrived. The boy was in rigor mortis when he arrived at the hospital, indicating he had been dead for at least a couple of hours, police sources said.
He had extensive bruising on his body, which could be linked to lividity, a postmortem condition in which blood pools in the lower parts of the body, causing a purplish discoloration of the skin, the sources added.
The child’s family is hoping Kyng’s mother turns herself in to police.

“Idk wtf is going through your head right now but this not you,” wrote Tiqua Blockwood, who identified herself in the Facebook post as the boy’s godmother. “Aint no f—ing wayyyyyy my godson didnt deserve that I just got this feeling its more to this.”
“If you’re seeing this baby, turn yourself in,” Sabrina Johnson, who also identified herself as the boy’s godmother, told PIX11 outside the hospital Monday. “It’s easier for you to turn yourself in and explain yourself, versus them finding you. It’s a sad situation that the life of a 3-year-old is gone. And we’re going to miss him.”
The case has not been deemed criminal as police await the results of the autopsy.
