Police in Laval are investigating after the body of a premature baby was found in a garbage container behind an apartment building on Souvenir Blvd. in the Laval-des-Rapides district.
First responders arrived at the scene at about 7:30 P.M. and found what they estimate the newborn was in the second trimester, about 3 to 4 months premature. An autopsy will confirm how far along the baby was and if it was a stillbirth.
The mother was taken to hospital where she was met by investigators.
A 44-year-old man and 36-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the discovery. Both are expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
