Newborn baby boy found dead in Durban CBD
Durban police are looking for the person who dumped a newborn baby, who was found dead in the city centre last night.
A passer-by is said to have come across the infant boy at a traffic light near a store in Field Street.
He'd been wrapped in a black refuse bag.
They alerted police who then called emergency medical services.
ER24's Chitra Bodasing says paramedics declared the child dead on the scene.
"Sadly there was nothing that could be done for the baby. Details surrounding the incident are unknown. Authorities were on scene to investigate further," she said.
A little over a month ago, another newborn was found dead along Anton Lembede Street in the city centre.
It had also been placed inside a black bag.
