Tragic Incident: 20-Year-Old Woman Faces Charges After Miscarriage at Manhattan Restaurant!
A 20-year-old woman might face criminal charges after a tragic incident in a Manhattan restaurant where she apparently miscarried, leaving the fetus behind and clogging the toilet, authorities revealed this week.
The male fetus, believed to be 22 to 23 weeks old and weighing just over a pound, was discovered just before 10 a.m. on September 30 in the restroom of Sophie’s Cuban Cuisine on Fulton Street near Gold Street in downtown Manhattan, according to police.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny informed reporters that the medical examiner’s office found evidence suggesting the fetus may have taken one or two breaths before its death, but not enough to sustain life.
Investigators believe that the woman, who was a customer at the restaurant the previous day, went to the restroom where the miscarriage likely occurred.
After the incident, the woman reportedly left the bathroom, and it wasn’t until later that the employee noticed something was wrong.
According to Chief Kenny, “She leaves the bathroom, and employees are alerted that it is dirty. The next day, they come in and find that it’s clogged.
” When workers investigated the clog, they found the fetus inside the toilet with the placenta and umbilical cord still attached.
Police stated there was “nothing abnormal about the child,” indicating no visible signs of trauma or foul play were present.
The NYPD is now consulting with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office regarding the potential criminal charges against the woman.
“Most likely, it would lead to [the mom’s] arrest for concealment of a human corpse, which is an E felony,” Kenny stated.
This incident has raised numerous questions about the circumstances leading up to the miscarriage and what prompted the woman to leave the fetus behind in the restroom.
Authorities are continuing to gather information to determine the appropriate legal action.
While it is still unclear whether the woman acted out of panic or distress, the case remains under investigation as officials work to uncover more details surrounding the event.
Legal experts suggest that charges for concealment of a human corpse could be the most likely outcome, but additional factors could influence the final decision.
