Police: Fetus in HI restroom an ‘unattended death’
HONOLULU — A fetus recovered from a restroom at a Honolulu park has been classified as an “unattended death” after police determined the woman who gave birth didn’t know she was pregnant.
Detective Ted Coons says no foul play is suspected.
According to police, a 19-year-old woman gave birth to the fetus Monday night in a restroom at Kapolei Park. Police say the woman went to the restroom complaining of stomach cramps and didn’t know she was pregnant.
The woman was taken to a hospital in serious condition. But police say her condition was later upgraded to good.
The approximate gestation age of the fetus is to be determined when an autopsy is performed.
