Overview
- Gynae Kendall, 25, was charged with concealment of a human corpse after police found her 1-month-old, Adonnys Kendall, dead inside a duffel bag in a closet during a Jan. 24 wellness check in Flatbush.
- Kendall was arrested on Jan. 25 and arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court, where she received supervised release and a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, according to prosecutors.
- Prosecutors said the infant’s body was in an advanced state of decomposition, and court papers describe sunken eyes, skin sloughing, and a strong odor consistent with decomposition.
- Authorities say Kendall gave inconsistent accounts of the child’s whereabouts and told police the baby had not been home for at least two weeks.
- EMS pronounced the infant dead at the scene, the medical examiner is conducting an autopsy that could take weeks, and investigators report no visible signs of trauma as they consider whether additional charges are warranted.
