Police are confirming that the body of a baby was found Sunday evening in a bag buried in Druid Hill Park. Shortly before 8 p.m., police were called to investigate a suspicious death at 700 Druid Park Lake Drive, according to the police department's chief spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi. An infant was found buried in a bag, and the body was sent to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy. There was not immediately any information on the gender or age.
I'm told that one of the parents tipped police off and directed them to the precise location. Homicide detectives are investigating.
On a separate but related note, we haven't been able to get any updates on the two-month-old who was reported in critical condition at a DC children's hospital after being struck by his father, who is accused of attacking the child's mother as she held the baby.
