Garbage Dump Searched for Baby's Remains
Police are searching garbage dumps in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for the body of a baby that was apparently thrown out with the trash at Jersey City's Christ Hospital.
Watch VideoInvestigators are saying a dead baby's remains were accidently tossed in the trash in New Jersey.
Dead Baby's Remains Thrown in Hospital Trash
Hospital spokeswoman Barbara Davy said the baby was stillborn on Dec. 21 and the body was placed in the hospital morgue. The body was gone when a funeral home employee came to pick it up on Jan. 2.
The baby's mother said he was born alive and died after doctors worked to stabilize him for 20 minutes.
Kalynn Moore's attorney, Michael Anise, said a nurse cleaned up the baby, dressed him in a hat and blanket and gave the baby to the mom to hold.
Moore named her son Bashere Davon Moyd Jr.
Whether the child was born is important because Hudson County's prosecutor said a stillborn is not considered a person under New Jersey law.
