The body of a newborn baby was discovered inside a bag outside a church in Notting Hill, west London.
Metropolitan Police have launched an urgent appeal for the baby’s mother to come forward, emphasizing concerns for her well-being.
Officers and paramedics were called to the scene at the end of Talbot Road, near Powis Gardens, at 12:46 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25. Sadly, the baby was pronounced dead at the scene.
The child’s gender and exact age have not yet been determined.
Superintendent Owen Renowden described the case as “extremely sad and shocking.”
“This investigation is in its early stages, and our immediate priority is to find the baby’s mother, who we believe may have recently given birth,” he said.
“If you are the baby’s mother and are reading this, please come forward to the police or seek medical help.
“You must be feeling very scared, but please let us help you—we are deeply concerned for your well-being. You can go to any hospital or police station for assistance.”
