Sioux Falls police are investigating an infant death at a Sioux Falls recycling plant.

Officers responded to a death investigation early on Tuesday, according to Public Information Officer Sam Clemens. At the scene they discovered the body of a “full-term infant.”

It’s unclear how long the infant had been at the recycling center. An autopsy is pending. Clemens said it could take some time for the investigation to come up with answers.
