Cecina, neonato morto in un sacchetto: cosa è successo
Much remains unclear about what happened yesterday in Cecina. The baby 's mother , as previously mentioned, reportedly said she didn't know she was pregnant and that, when she complained of abdominal pain, she was convinced it was indigestion. Initial assessments suggest the baby was born prematurely , between the 30th and 32nd week of gestation. However, this is a preliminary estimate, which will need to be confirmed by forensic tests. Officers from the Cecina police station have reportedly already inspected the facility and gathered initial information from both medical staff and the parents. The investigation is being coordinated by Livorno Public Prosecutor Ezia Mancusi, who has ordered an autopsy on the baby's body . The examination will clarify the cause of death and reconstruct the sequence of events: at this time, it has not yet been possible to determine whether the baby was already dead before birth or whether he died immediately after birth.
