A deceased newborn was discovered behind a mound of leaves behind a public housing complex in New York City, according to cops.
An NYPD spokeswoman tells PEOPLE that officers responded to a 911 call Thursday morning regarding an unresponsive baby discovered behind the New York City Housing Authority’s Bay View Houses in Canarsie, Brooklyn.
“Upon arrival, officers were informed that an unidentified male newborn had been found unconscious and unresponsive,” a spokeswoman told me.
