The child was found on Sunday afternoon. Emergency doctors confirmed the baby’s death, it said. Authorities initially did not provide any further details about the incident in the village of Oulton, southeast of Leeds. The investigation was ongoing.
Just ten days ago, a newborn baby was found alive in a shopping bag in London by a walker. The girl was less than an hour younger and was wrapped in a towel. The child, who was christened Elsa, was doing well, it was said at the weekend. The police published the description of the alleged mother, who may need medical attention.
