Shock in Neukölln: Police finds dead baby on the sidewalk!

In a shattering incident, a dead baby was discovered in Berlin early Sunday morning. The site was a sidewalk in the Gropiusstadt district in the Neukölln district. A policeman came across the child around 5 a.m. when he was on the way to his service. At first he thought the baby was a doll, but on closer inspection the cruel truth turned out to be.

After the shocking discovery, the authorities immediately initiated investigations. A murder commission was set up to clarify the background of the case. The sidewalk on Cologne Damm, where the baby was found, is currently examined by forensic technicians for possible traces.

Investigations in the course

The body's body is autopsy to determine age and the cause of death. At the same time, the mother of the newborn is sought. The police have already taken various measures to quickly act in this tragic case. For example, a drone was used to take aerial photographs of the site, and search dogs of the Red Cross also support the investigators, but so far without success.

In society, this incident is noted with horror and grief. In Germany, infant mortality has decreased significantly over the years. Historically speaking, around a quarter of all newborns died around 1870, which has been reduced to about three out of 1,000 live born to this day, such as the Federal Center for Health Education reported.

The causes of early infant mortality are often due to the health and social conditions that have improved significantly over the past few decades. Nevertheless, the death of a newborn, like now in Berlin, remains an inexplicable and shocking loss.

The entire Berlin community is affected by this incident, and the questions arising on the origin of the infant and the still unknown mother make the situation even tragic. The police call on witnesses to report to obtain further information. In such dark times, it is important that the community stands together and find consolation together.
