Woodland Hills baby girl found dead in trash can after mom arrived at hospital bleeding heavily. It was determined she had just given birth or had a miscarriage. An investigation is ongoing. 23 year old woman has not been arrested. 

California police are investigating the death of a day-old newborn who was found dead in a trash bin outside a home in Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley neighborhood.

Police told KTLA that they were notified after a 23-year-old woman, bleeding profusely, arriving at a Woodland Hills area hospital emergency room. Doctors determined she had just given birth.

Medical personnel then contacted the Los Angeles Police Department since the patient did not have a baby with her. LAPD officers were then sent to a home in the 23000 block of Burbank Boulevard in Woodland Hills around 6 p.m. Upon arriving investigators found a newborn baby girl in a trash bin in the front yard.

How did Woodland Hills newborn end up in trash can?

Among a pile of boxes and a trash can, officers found the infant girl unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sources close to the investigation told FOX 11 the baby had not been carried full-term or a miscarriage.

A spokesperson said the department’s child abuse unit is investigating the death as a homicide, but no further information was released. The woman was said to be ‘fully cooperating with investigators.’

The un-identified 23 year old woman was interviewed for hours. However, she was not taken into custody.

‘She is fully cooperating with the police,’ Tiffany Feder, the woman’s attorney, told KNBC. ‘We’re gonna let the investigation run its course.’

Not immediately clear is how the newborn came to be placed in a trash bin.

An ongoing investigation is now in place.
