New Mexico police found a newborn baby in a garbage bag last Friday and said the baby may have been injected heroin into the baby by his mother, according to a report.

The authorities obtained a search warrant for the motorhome caravan located in Alcalde, north of the mother. The father said he had returned from a trip and that his girlfriend was no longer pregnant and was worried about the safety of her unborn baby, according to The Albuquerque Journal.

When the police arrived at the mother's caravan, they "smelled the smell of death" and started looking for the baby. They found the dead baby in a trash bag near the toilet.

The mother reportedly fainted during childbirth and when she woke up, the baby stopped responding.

No charges have yet been filed, the Journal reported.
