WATCH ABOVE: Two young boys playing on a Sydney beach on Sunday found an infant’s body buried in the sand, police said, one week after a newborn baby was discovered alive at the bottom of a drain in the city’s suburbs.
SYDNEY, Australia – Police say two young boys playing on a Sydney beach have found the body of an infant buried in the sand.
New South Wales state police Inspector Andrew Holland says the boys found the baby’s naked body while digging in the sand at Sydney’s popular Maroubra beach on Sunday.
The discovery comes a week after an infant was rescued alive after languishing for days at the bottom of a drain in a Sydney suburb.
The body found Sunday was too decomposed for officials to immediately determine the baby’s age, gender or cause of death. An autopsy will be performed.
Officials said they were hunting through hospital records to try and find the parents of the infant buried at the beach.
