Woman arrested after abandoned newborn dies in Longueuil bus shelter

A 33-year-old woman was arrested in Longueuil, Quebec, after a newborn baby was found abandoned at a bus shelter with the placenta still attached and later died at the hospital. The infant was discovered early on October 28, with police attempting lifesaving measures before the baby was pronounced dead. The woman had spent the early morning hours at a nearby homeless shelter before the baby was found, raising concerns about her physical and mental health. Authorities are investigating the incident, which resembles a similar recent case in the area where another newborn was abandoned but survived. The woman was released from police custody on several conditions and is required to appear in court, while police continue to assess potential charges including infanticide. Local officials and police have expressed deep concern over the tragic event and are working to uncover more details.
