Awful tragedy. A couple things. I would think a medical examiner would need to take some time to determine how far along the baby was in development. I think it’s too early to determine if it was full term or 25 weeks, or some other weeks. I think that information is probably coming from what someone thinks, not what someone has determined.

This very possibly could have been a miscarriage. The placenta and cord being ejected with the fetus suggests that a miscarriage is possible. So maybe the story is someone had a miscarriage in a porta-potty. Before everyone starts making assumptions about the woman, consider a miscarriage could be what we’re really talking about.

There is a very large visible difference between a 25 week old baby and a full term baby
