Dead newborn found by workers emptying port-a-potty in Texas

A dead newborn baby was found inside a port-a-potty in a popular Texas park on Thursday, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported.

The grisly discovery was made around 11:30 a.m. by a crew servicing the portable toilet at Magnolia Gardens Park northeast of Houston, sheriff’s office Major Susan Cotter said during a press briefing at the scene. Cotter said the port-a-potty had last been emptied around 9:30 a.m. Monday.
