A 1-year-old girl who was found inside an Ohio home filled with over a dozen dead animals, including 15 dead snakes, has died.

Arez Marie Isabella Schrodi was found unresponsive and not breathing at her grandparents’ home in Dayton, Ohio on Sunday. The girl was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

An autopsy is currently being conducted to determine the child’s cause of death.

Dayton police are still investigating the case, and no arrests have been made.

Authorities say the home had “cleanliness issues” and was unfit for humans or animals. At least four adults and three children reportedly lived in the home.

Animal Rescue Center investigators said that the carcasses of 15 snakes and a cat were lying among several live animals.

At least 12 of the 15 dead snakes found were pythons and were held in plastic trays.

A 4-foot snake, which is believed to be a boa constrictor, a rabbit and a dog, were taken from the home and placed in animal rescue care.

A reticulated python is able to kill and swallow a human being in less than an hour. It is the longest living species of snake in the world.
