Tuesday, February 25, 2025 - A newborn baby has d!ed after reportedly being thrown from a Paris hotel room window by an 18-year-old American tourist, believed to be the baby's mother.
A witness reported the horrific incident at around 6am this morning,
Feb. 24, at the Ibis Style hotel in the 20th arrondissement
of Paris on rue des Réglises.
It is believed the young woman threw the infant child from the window of
the room she was staying in, which was located on the second floor.
Witnesses heard screaming and were quick to raise the alarm,
with emergency services rushing to the scene and the baby taken to
the Robert-Debré hospital, in the 19th arrondissement.
A young woman believed to be the mother of the child, was also taken to
the hospital. According to local media, she was on a study trip to
Paris along with other students from the US.
Witnesses claim the baby was thrown from the window "with the umbilical
cord" still attached.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services, the baby did not survive
his injuries and d!ed, the Paris prosecutor's office confirmed to Le
Parisien.
A magistrate from the Paris public prosecutor's office attended the
scene, along with police officers from the minor protection brigade (BPM) of
the Paris judicial police, according to a police source. The prosecutor's
office confirmed that an investigation has been opened for "homicide of a
minor under 15".
The prosecution has said the young woman is "part of a group of
young adults travelling in Europe", adding that she was taken to hospital
where she is set to undergo an operation having recently given birth. The Paris
prosecutor's office added: "She was also taken into custody on site. The
possibility of a denial of pregnancy is being considered."
A source close to the case told Paris Match: "The investigation is
underway and the precise circumstances of this tragedy remain to be
established... We do not yet know if we are dealing with a denial of
pregnancy."
