Starving newborn baby left home alone for days after mum died is rescued last-minute by cops ‘clinging to life'
A "STARVING" newborn has been rescued after its mother died and it spent days alone without food or water. Cops found the baby "clinging to life" when they visited the house in south Phoenix, Arizona. 3 They were responding to a calls from neighbours who were concerned because the mother had not been seen for several days. Bodycam footage shows officers calling into the house from the yard, and then breaking to door down when they received no response. A tiny baby wrapped in blankets can be seen lying in the bed alongside its mother's body. An officer puts the child in a stroller before medics take over and deliver life-saving care. Phoenix Police said: 'Inside the home, they discovered the mother had passed away and her baby was still alive, severely dehydrated and clinging to life. 'The baby was taken to the hospital in critical condition." Investigators described the infant as "visibly emaciated". Cops added: "We are happy to report the infant's condition has improved greatly, and they're expected to survive.' Officers told Arizona Family they had peered through the window and seen a woman who was not moving inside the home. Phoenix Police spokesperson Sgt. Brian Bower said: 'The mother had passed away while the child was still on the bed still curled up where the mother had left them. Newborn baby found decapitated and dismembered in rubbish bin as cops launch manhunt for tragic tot's mum 'It wasn't learned until well after the fact from doctors and staff at the hospital that if the police officers didn't immediately provide aid and didn't immediately go into the apartment, the child may not have survived much longer." Bower praised the "smart, immediate actions of the officers as well as the neighbours seeing something unusual and calling in for help". The baby is now being looked after by the Department of Child Safety and police are investigating how the mother died. The miracle rescue in Phoenix follows a horrific discovery in Madrid, Spain of a newborn who had been decapitated - prompting a manhunt. The baby girl was born alive - and was just five days old when she was brutally killed, doctors confirmed. Her tragic remains were found in several plastic bags in a recycling centre in Madrid, Spain. A repulsed worker made the harrowing discovery at a garbage plant in Loeches. The horror crime is being investigated by Spanish police who have appealed for anyone with information to come forward. The crime dates back to December 12, 2024 - and tests have now revealed the terrible sequence of events. The girl was born alive and was murdered, almost certainly with a knife, reports say.
