A newborn baby girl with her umbilical cord still attached was found dead outside of a New York City apartment.

Police were called to the rear courtyard of 1150 St. Lawrence Ave in the Bronx around 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday after a building worker made the gruesome discovery.

The infant was unconscious and unresponsive with the umbilical cord still attached. After attempting to provide aid, EMS pronounced the girl dead at the scene.

The medical examiner is working to determine the cause of death and the police investigation remains ongoing. No arrests have been made.

She was discovered by the building superintendent and a contractor who were in the alley to work on waterproofing.

'There were bees and flies all around the baby. We called 911, and then the officers came. It was heartbreaking. I've never felt this pain in my life,' the contractor, Ali Saadat, told PIX11.

The building superintendent named Carlos said he wished he had noticed sooner.

'I was like crazy because they say the baby was there for almost three or four days and the baby was next to my living room. I could have literally looked out the window and saw the baby,' he told WABC.

Police sources told the local news station they believe a teenage girl who was hiding her pregnancy gave birth in the building then dumped the newborn in the back.

New York State’s Abandoned Infant Protection Act allows a parent to abandon a newborn baby up to 30 days of age anonymously and without fear of prosecution, if the baby is abandoned in a safe manner.

A hospital, staffed police or fire station are examples of safe and suitable choices, according to the law.

Earlier in October, the body of a baby girl was found at a southeastern Idaho hospital in a box meant for people to anonymously give up a newborn.

Police officers in Blackfoot, Idaho responded to a report of a deceased infant left in the Safe Haven Baby Box at Grove Creek Medical Center on October 13.

Monica Kelsey, the founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, said in a social media post Monday that hospital staff responded within one minute to an alarm indicating a baby was in the box.

The baby had been wrapped in a blanket, and the placenta was still attached, Kelsey said.

The organization and hospital staff are working with police investigators to determine what happened.
