A baby was found alone in a home in Phoenix in May 2025, with the mother dead, possibly for several days.<\/p>\n

A welfare check in Phoenix revealed a woman who was possibly dead for several days and her newborn baby near her, still alive but in critical condition, according to police.<\/p>\n

Officers went to the woman’s home near Central Avenue and Illini Street on May 14 after a neighbor hadn’t seen or heard from a mother and her newborn in several days.<\/p>\n

Inside the home, officers discovered the mother had died, but her baby was still alive, “dehydrated and clinging to life,” Phoenix police said.<\/p>\n

Officers opened a window to the apartment and saw the woman motionless on the floor and an infant lying on the bed visibly emaciated, according to police.<\/p>\n

Bodycam footage of the incident<\/a> showed police entering the home, finding the infant, and removing the baby from the home to be evaluated by Phoenix fire officials.<\/p>\n

The newborn was taken to a hospital to recover. Police said the infant’s condition greatly improved, and the newborn was expected to survive.<\/p>\n

Police said detectives took over the investigation, while the Department of Child Safety was working with investigators and family.<\/p>\n

The Office of the Medical Examiner is investigating the cause and manner of death of the baby’s mother. Police have not released the woman’s name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phoenix police find dehydrated newborn in home near dead mother A baby was found alone in a home…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":26962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[567,5229,5643,1587,8746,23494,23495,4446,23496,6006,3040,246,6359,15780,425,728,451,635,7233,50,940,450,457,1589,11311,7207,6003,646,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,8572,8576,7223],"class_list":{"0":"post-26961","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-abuse","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-arizona","11":"tag-az","12":"tag-az-now","13":"tag-babies","14":"tag-babies-human","15":"tag-death","16":"tag-death-investigations","17":"tag-death-u0026-tragedy","18":"tag-department","19":"tag-family","20":"tag-human","21":"tag-investigations","22":"tag-local","23":"tag-local-news","24":"tag-negative","25":"tag-new","26":"tag-new-visitors-az","27":"tag-news","28":"tag-now","29":"tag-overall","30":"tag-overall-negative","31":"tag-phoenix","32":"tag-phoenix-police-department","33":"tag-police","34":"tag-tragedy","35":"tag-u0026","36":"tag-united-states","37":"tag-united-states-of-america","38":"tag-unitedstates","39":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","40":"tag-us","41":"tag-usa","42":"tag-violence","43":"tag-violence-u0026-abuse","44":"tag-visitors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114772024325701681","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
