Overview
- The prosecutor confirmed the victim was a female infant assessed as close to full term.
- Initial medico-legal findings left the cause of death undetermined, with further tests ordered to date the death and determine viability, including whether she had breathed.
- A judicial inquiry for recherche des causes de la mort is being led by the Landerneau gendarmerie, which is also working to identify the mother.
- The body was found degraded on a manual line for yellow-bin waste, prompting a halt to that line and psychological support for staff while limited operations continued.
- Investigators say the treated flow may have originated in the Morlaix Communauté sector or northern Morbihan, reflecting the center’s multi-department intake.
