Newborn baby found dead next to railway line in Durban DailyNewsSA
Durban - A newborn baby boy was found wrapped in a plastic bag and dumped next to a railway line in Umbilo, Durban, on Friday morning.
According to Garrith Jamieson, when Rescue Care Paramedics arrived on scene they found the newborn had been deceased. "The baby had been placed in the packet and while the umbilical cord had been cut, it was present. Unfortunately, paramedics assessed the newborn and he showed no signs of life."
