A newborn baby girl with her umbilical cord still attached found dead in an alleyway behind a Bronx apartment block was alive when she fell multiple stories to her death, officials said.
The infant died from multiple blunt force injuries and her death was labeled a homicide, New York City Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said Tuesday.
Emergency responders discovered the baby in the rear of 130 W. 183rd St. near Sedgwick Avenue in University Heights about 2:30 p.m. on Monday but she could not be saved, officials said. It was not immediately clear how many stories the baby had fallen, sources said.
A woman was taken in for questioning by police in connection to the incident, the sources told INSIDE EDITION, noting that she was being evaluated at a hospital in New York on Tuesday. The woman reportedly told police she gave birth in the shower of her apartment Monday afternoon and that the baby died before she tossed her out the window.
