The autopsy for slain toddler Caylee Anthony could not determine the cause of death for the young girl, but revealed that her head had been wrapped in duct tape from her chin to her nose. Pink, glittery cloth letters that may have spelled out “Big” and “Trouble” were found near the skeletal remains, the autopsy report said. The report, which was released today by Florida’s Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office, showed that duct tape was wrapped around Caylee’s head, covering her mandible and maxilla, essentially from the bottom of her chin to over her nose. “This duct tape was clearly placed prior to decomposition,” said the report. The tape was still attached to the skull, holding the jaw in place, the report said. The autopsy said it found no evidence of trauma on Caylee’s tiny skeleton and no traces of drugs in her system.
