A newborn baby has died after allegedly being thrown out of a Paris hotel window by its teenage mother, an 18-year-old American student.
The tragic incident occurred at around 6 a.m. on Monday in the Ibis Styles hotel in the Nation district, with reports stating the baby’s umbilical cord was still attached.
Emergency services were called after a witness heard screams, but the infant succumbed to its injuries at the hospital.
The young woman, who was on holiday in France, underwent surgery following the birth and has been taken into custody. Authorities have launched a murder investigation, considering the possibility of pregnancy denial as they work to determine the exact circumstances of the tragedy.
