    Police have ordered an autopsy following a report by the child's parents, which is due to be carried out on Thursday.
    Investigations are "aimed at establishing with certainty the causes of death of the infant, with the goal of shedding light on any responsibility due to medical negligence on the part of employees of the hospital," prosecutors said in a statement.
