Appeal to Mum following discovery of deceased baby at Bowling Back Lane in Bradford

Police are continuing to appeal for information to trace the mum of a newborn baby that had died in Bradford as concerns grow for her welfare.

Emergency services attended Bowling Back Lane in Bradford yesterday (20 August) where sadly a newborn baby girl was found that had died.

The baby girl was wrapped in a pink towel, which depicted the island of Fuerteventura in yellow on a purple background. There were various pictures associated with tropical locations on the towel also including fish, sea horses and a palm tree (pictured a similar towel).

A post mortem examination has been conducted and it believed the baby was stillborn. It is likely that this may have been a concealed pregnancy and the baby was not born in a hospital setting, so the mum of the baby may need urgent medical attention.

Police and partner agencies are extremely concerned about the mum of the baby and are urging her or any friends or family members to come forward to help us give her the help and support she may need.
