The baby, 8-month old Alexia Rose Echeverria, was identified as the daughter of a missing Northern California man, reported KTLA.
She was found behind funeral home Funeraria del Angel on the morning of May 27, said the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
The child was reported missing along with her father, Alexander Echeverria, 30, and were last seen in Bellflower last week, officials said.
Echeverria was described as “depressed,” and his family was concerned for his wellbeing.
The baby was discovered after a worker saw a baby upright in a car seat and covered by a blanket, KLTA reported. The infant was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials have not determined the cause of death, and Detective Steve Blagg said that officials saw no signs of trauma, CBS Los Angeles reported.
“We’re talking to potential family members, but again, ongoing investigation, don’t want to divulge, who or how we came in contact with them,” Bragg told the outlet.
Echeverria has not yet been located. His family said they are concerned for his well-being.
He’s described as 5-foot-6, 160 pounds with brown hair, and brown eyes.
Officials said he may be driving a gray colored 2014 Volkswagen Jetta with California license plate 7FFT866.
