A newborn baby discovered inside a bus shelter on Montreal’s South Shore early Monday has died, according to Longueuil police. Officers say they were called to the scene on Chambly Road around 6:30 a.m. after reports of an infant left inside the shelter.
Paramedics provided first aid and transported the baby to hospital, but police confirmed the child was pronounced dead shortly before 8 a.m. Authorities have not released further details on how long the newborn may have been at the site or whether the parents have been located.
Police say this marks the second incident involving an abandoned infant in Longueuil in less than a month. On October 5, another newborn was found in front of a residence in the city and survived. Investigators in that earlier case have circulated surveillance footage showing a person of interest but have not announced any arrests.
Longueuil police continue to investigate both cases and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
