Police are investigating the death of a newborn found in a backpack in Phoenix on Friday morning, authorities said.
Officers located the baby’s body in a brush area after responding to a call around 6:30 a.m., according to Sgt. Mercedes Fortune of the Phoenix Police Department.
Cause of death has not yet been determined.
“It’s difficult to respond to these type of calls. I can’t make any assumptions on what the parent of the child was going through or why this happened,” Fortune said during a press conference.
“I can only ask that if anybody has information related to anybody who they knew who was pregnant or who just recently gave birth to a child to please call Silent Witness if they don’t see the child or something is just suspicious about that person.”
