Police are examining the circumstances of a newborn's death at Sheremetyevo Airport, while reports describe a mother giving birth in a terminal restroom and later dying from bleeding.
Police investigation
The Moscow regional Investigative Committee has not determined the exact cause of the child's death and is considering two versions: the infant was born dead or was born alive and then suffocated by the mother. Fragments of toilet paper were found in the child's mouth and airway.
Incident details
A 30‑year‑old woman gave birth to a son in a toilet at the airport and later died from heavy bleeding while hospitalized. She was traveling with her 11‑year‑old daughter and a 38‑year‑old partner, who was unaware of her pregnancy. The partner had noticed her swollen belly only the day before the flight.
