TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - Police in Tacoma are investigating the discovery of a dead fawn that was found dressed like an infant and was left abandoned at the Pantages Theater.

Police spokesman Mark Fulghum said an officer made the bizarre discovery shortly after 9 p.m. on Tuesday.

Tom Sayre with The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County said the newborn deer was placed in a basket and was wearing an infant sleeper and a bib that read "You think I'm cute? You should see my aunt."

It is not clear how the animal died. Sayre said a Humane Society veterinarian thinks it might have been stillborn.
