Authorities in Rochester are investigating after the remains of a newborn infant were discovered at a recycling facility Thursday.
This is the second time this year that baby’s remains were found at the Rochester plant after a similar incident in April.
On Thursday, at around 10:40 a.m., police were called to the Zero Waste Solutions recycling facility after a worker found “what appeared to be the body of a human baby in the recycling products.”
“The caller reported that infant remains were found within a trash collection that was trucked to the facility for disposal,” said Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz.
All processing was halted at the facility as detectives investigated the scene.
The Medical Examiner’s office is working to determine a cause of death.
