An infant's body was found in a portable toilet at the Electric Forest festival in Michigan. Preliminary autopsy indicates the newborn was alive. Authorities seek public assistance.
A tragic incident occurred at the Electric Forest dance festival in Rothbury, Michigan, on June 28, the event's final day. An infant's body was discovered inside a portable toilet in the Good Life camping area at the Double JJ Ranch.
The discovery was made by an employee from the company responsible for cleaning the portable toilets. While authorities have released few details regarding the infant's race, gender, or health at the time of discovery, preliminary autopsy findings, announced by Michigan State Police on July 14, indicate the infant was born alive and viable.
