DALLAS (Reuters) - A murder charge has been dropped against a Dallas-area hotel worker accused of killing a baby she gave birth to in an employee locker-room toilet by allowing it to drown, police said on Wednesday.
The charge was withdrawn against Luz Aurora Granados-Reyes, 25, after the Collin County Medical Examiner said he could not prove the baby girl, believed to be 30 to 32 weeks in gestation, was alive when she was delivered in the toilet.
The medical examiner ruled there was insufficient evidence to prove the baby was born alive. A specialist will conduct further tests but it is unlikely the medical examiner’s ruling will change, officials said.
Paramedics found Granados-Reyes sitting on a toilet with the umbilical cord still attached to her and the female infant submerged in water beneath her, the warrant said.
The woman "made no attempt to remove the infant, provide aid or call 911 for assistance," the warrant said.
