Day-old infant found dead in car trunk

HOUSTON, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Houston police were investigating the discovery of a dead, day-old boy found in a car trunk, the Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday.

Detectives were examining the car, which was parked in a driveway in a residential suburban area. Police released few details to the news media, and it was not immediately determined if foul play was suspected or if the infant died of natural causes.

The unidentified mother was reportedly at an area hospital Monday night, possibly suffering from complications of childbirth, the newspaper said.
