INFANTICIDE: December 21, 1940 Derby, England Baby Doe

  On December 21, 1940, the body of a newborn girl was found on the bank of the River Derwent at Derby, England. She was wrapped up in sacking and a piece of mackintosh and a part of an apron and tied up with several yards of tape. Her body had been in the river for some time and had washed down the river where it was found. She was born alive and died of asphyxiation, but it does not state whether or not it was from suffocation or drowning.
