A body found in the Danube is an infant.
An autopsy in Munich revealed that the dead man found above the Vohburg barrage was a boy of preschool age, said the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria North in Ingolstadt.
The identity of the child is just as unclear as the circumstances of death.
Further forensic examinations are necessary.
Further search measures on and in the Danube
The police in Ingolstadt set up their own investigative team to investigate the case.
Further search measures on and in the Danube are also planned for Monday.
An essential part of the investigation is the clarification of the question of where the boy died.
A canoeist saw something floating in the Danube on Thursday and brought it ashore with his paddle.
According to the police, it was only clear at the weekend that it was a human body.
