Jun 28 (Japan Today) - The body of a newborn baby, with its umbilical cord still attached, was found in high grass near the bank of the Arakawa River in Tokyo’s Adachi Ward on Thursday.
According to police, a worker who was cutting grass spotted the dead infant’s naked body at around 9:45 a.m. and called 110, Sankei Shimbun reported.
Police said they are examining nearby street surveillance camera footage to try and determine who left the baby’s body in the grass, adding that the person or persons responsible face a charge of abandoning a body.
