Body of 35-Week Fetus Found Beside San Martín Rail Line in José C. Paz

An autopsy will direct prosecutors on possible charges.

Overview

  • The body, discovered Saturday near Fray Butler by the Sol y Verde station, drew police and a SAME ambulance after a 911 call.
  • Officials said it was a female fetus of about 35 weeks with the umbilical cord attached and early decomposition, found partly covered among trash bags beside the tracks.
  • Prosecutor Martín Viscovich of UFI No. 22 directed forensic work at the site, and investigators are assessing whether overnight rain and cold played a role.
  • An autopsy was ordered to determine whether there was live birth and the cause of death, findings that would shape any criminal classification.
  • No person is identified or detained as police review security cameras and collect neighborhood tips to trace who left the body.
