The mother told the police she immediately roused the infant’s father and they rushed her to the Suddie hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
The body was examined by police and no mark of violence was seen. The body is at the Suddie Public Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
