Newborn Boy Found Dead in LA After Allegedly Being Dropped from 4th Floor of Building, Police Say

Los Angeles— A newborn child was found dead in an alleyway in Los Angeles after being dumped from a building’s fourth-story window, according to authorities.

The newborn was spotted early Thursday morning in downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row neighborhood, which also has one of the country’s largest stable homeless populations.

Firefighters responded to the call at 5:27 a.m. and pronounced the newborn deceased at the spot. Police suspect the baby was dropped from the building immediately after birth.

Investigators tracked down a woman who had been taken to a local hospital for pelvic hemorrhage a few hours before the baby was discovered. The woman was detained for questioning and then released pending further investigation, according to authorities.
