However, when Ms. C. and many others opened the door, they were shocked to discover inside the toilet of this rented room was a newborn baby with its umbilical cord still attached (about 5-6 days old) who had died many days before.
After receiving information about the incident, Bac Ly Ward Police coordinated with relevant agencies to go to the scene to record the situation and investigate the cause.
