An investigation was opened after the discovery Friday afternoon of the lifeless body of a newborn in the toilets of Bergerac station (Dordogne), we learned this Saturday from the prosecution.
An autopsy scheduled for Tuesday in Bordeaux will have to determine "if the child, male, was born alive or died in utero", which will guide the qualification of the facts, explained the deputy prosecutor.
The body was found by a cleaning lady in the bowl of the toilets for people with reduced mobility, where there were also blood and the placenta, told AFP the deputy prosecutor of Bergerac Charles Charollois, who opened a investigation into the causes of death entrusted to the Bergerac police station.
Searches with local hospitals for a woman possibly in distress have been unsuccessful and Bergerac station does not have surveillance cameras, he also said.
