Police in France have taken a young American woman into custody after her new born baby was thrown out of a window of a Parisian hotel.
Emergency services worked to revive the infant after the incident but it was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
Child protection police authorities are currently investigating the incident which happened on Monday morning as a homicide of a minor younger than 15 years old.
The mother who was travelling through Europe with a group of young adults has been taken to hospital for treatment following childbirth and is being held there.
A tourist from Poland who was also staying at the hotel described to the press men how he was woken up by rescue services early on Monday morning.
“I was sleeping but at 7 o'clock (in the morning), two firemen came to my room number and knocked at my door and said 'I must check your number” he said.
It is not yet clear whether this is a case of pregnancy denial - a condition in which a woman remains unaware or is in denial of her pregnancy until labour, as authorities are considering it as a possibility.
