Overview
- The Brest prosecutor said the body was a degraded female infant whose development appeared close to full term.
- Employees discovered the remains Monday on a manual‑sorting conveyor at the Triglaz waste center in Plouédern.
- Complementary tests are underway to date the death, determine live‑birth or respiration, and specify the lethal mechanism.
- The gendarmerie opened an inquiry into the causes of death, and the child's mother has not been identified.
- Traceback is complicated by waste flows from Finistère, Côtes‑d’Armor and Morbihan; the affected line was halted with psychological support for staff, while another line continued with a return to normal slated for Wednesday.
