Durham Regional Police are urging the mother of a newborn infant whose remains were found in the lake in Pickering Thursday afternoon to seek medical attention and contact police immediately.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Frisco and Montgomery Park roads at around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday after a citizen who was out for a walk saw the remains near the shoreline of Lake Ontario.
Police and a coroner arrived on scene and it was later determined that the remains belong to a newborn infant boy.
The age of the baby could be anywhere from birth to four weeks old, Constable George Tudos said Friday during a press conference.
“We are still, like I said, at the infancy of this investigation and we will be canvassing the area,” Tudos said. “We have our public safety unit who is just getting ready to go out and search the immediate area for any evidence, any clues.”
The homicide unit has since taken over the investigation.
