A baby suspected to be a newborn died in hospital after being found in a plastic bag inside a Hong Kong International Airport toilet on Friday, prompting police to launch a criminal investigation.
The case came to light at about 11.53am (10.53am Thailand time) when a cleaning worker found the baby in a plastic bag inside a female toilet in a restricted area of the airport’s Terminal One arrival hall, according to police.
A force spokeswoman said the baby was declared dead at North Lantau Hospital.
She added officers were investigating the case.
