Phoenix newborn found 'clinging to life' at home near dead mother
A welfare check in Phoenix revealed a woman who was possibly dead for several days and her newborn baby near her, still alive but in critical condition, according to police. Officers went to the woman's home near Central Avenue and Illini Street on May 14 after a neighbor hadn't seen or heard from a mother and her newborn in several days. Inside the home, officers discovered the mother had died, but her baby was still alive, "dehydrated and clinging to life," Phoenix police said. Officers opened a window to the apartment and saw the woman motionless on the floor and an infant lying on the bed visibly emaciated, according to police. Bodycam footage of the incident showed police entering the home, finding the infant, and removing the baby from the home to be evaluated by Phoenix fire officials. The newborn was taken to a hospital to recover. Police said the infant's condition greatly improved, and the newborn was expected to survive. Police said detectives took over the investigation, while the Department of Child Safety was working with investigators and family. The Office of the Medical Examiner is investigating the cause and manner of death of the baby's mother. Police have not released the woman's name.
