Overview
- Officers received a 911 call around 6:30 a.m. on Chambly Road, and the baby, less than 28 days old, was pronounced dead at hospital around 8:20 a.m.
- Paramedics reported the infant was naked, very cold and still attached to the placenta, and resuscitation efforts continued during transport.
- A woman was taken into custody just after noon, and police say she could face an infanticide charge, though maternity has not been confirmed.
- Investigators say they are not seeking additional suspects and are evaluating the detainee’s physical and psychological condition for a possible court appearance.
- Police set up a command post, closed nearby roads, are reviewing surveillance and seeking witnesses, and they note no apparent link to a separate Oct. 5 abandoned-newborn case in Longueuil.
