Media reported the baby was found positive to Type A influenza virus.

On Monday, state pathologist Nicolas Charalambous received samples for the histopathological examinations which will reveal the exact cause of death, the Cyprus News Agency reported.

The infant did not show any external injuries according to the officers who went to the clinic for examinations.
