Newborn Chinese Baby Found in Sewer Pipe
Flushed down the toilet
BEIJING – A baby boy believed to be just days old was found in a sewer pipe in a bathroom in China last weekend.
According to local media, the startling discovery was made on Saturday in Jinhua City, Zhejiang province.
Firefighters were called to an apartment complex where residents said they could hear the baby's cries through the pipes.
Emergency crews who arrived on the scene could see the baby's head far down inside the toilet duct, but were unable to reach down far enough into the 4-inch in diameter pipe to pull him out.
Rescuers had to walk down one floor below to cut the pipe free.
