Toronto police say the girl was likely between the ages of four to seven, of African or mixed African descent and was believed to have been left at a construction site outside a home in Rosedale between April 28 and May 2.
Investigators of the homiside department are working to identify the missing girl cross referencing missing girls across the country.
Police was called to the scene Monday,they say that the body was wrapped in a colourful blanket inside a plastic bag.

A post-mortem exam was performed Wednesday, but forensic pathologists have yet to determine a cause of death, police said.
