American Tourist Arrested in Paris Baby Death

An 18-year-old American tourist has been arrested in Paris for allegedly throwing her newborn baby out of a hotel window in the 20th arrondissement, resulting in the infant's death. The incident occurred at the Ibis Styles hotel, with witnesses reporting the baby was thrown from a second-floor window with the umbilical cord still attached. The young woman, part of a group of students traveling in Europe, was taken into custody after being hospitalized for a post-delivery operation. Authorities are investigating the case as a homicide and are considering the possibility of pregnancy denial, where the mother is unaware or unable to accept her pregnancy. The Paris public prosecutor's office and the Child Protection Brigade are involved in the ongoing investigation.
