Dead Baby Found Inside Porta-Potty By An Employee<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to the Michigan State Police<\/a>, the infant was a neonate, meaning it was less than 4 weeks old. An employee of the porta-potty vendor reportedly found the dead baby \u201cduring routine maintenance\u201d in the camping area of the festival. Michigan State Police Lieutenant Patrick Agema initially told TMZ<\/a> that it was unknown whether the baby was born alive. The autopsy report allegedly hasn\u2019t been turned over to local police.\u00a0The Electric Forest is held annually at the Double JJ Resort and the discovery was made on the festival\u2019s final day. At this time, there are no leads in the investigation.<\/p>\n

Baby\u2019s Cause Of Death Remains Unclear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Additionally, Lt. Agema told the outlet that a forensic pathologist performed an autopsy on the baby. However, the cause of death hasn\u2019t released. The Michigan State Police is also requesting that anyone with information pertinent to the investigation contact the authorities.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Michigan State Police continue to investigate the discovery of a deceased neonate found Sunday morning in the camping area at the Electric Forest Festival,\u201d read a statement from theMSP. \u201cInvestigators are asking for the public\u2019s assistance. If you were in the area and observed anything unusual, or if you have information that you believe may be relevant, we encourage you to come forward.

Sources speaking to NBC affiliate, Wood TV 8<\/a>, revealed that authorities allegedly found the baby\u2019s placenta and umbilical cord inside the porta potty, suggesting it might\u2019ve been born there.

Authorities Haven\u2019t Classified The Death As A Homicide<\/h3>\n

The Michigan State Police are still investigating the death, but they haven\u2019t classified the death as a homicide. Retired Michigan State Police detective Lew Langham spoke with FOX 17 News<\/a>, and he said the investigators are likely looking for the mother.<\/p>\n
