An infant was found in a garbage bin on Monday along Bothma Street in Honeydew, Johannesburg West.
ER24 paramedics were called to the scene by a security guard who was found standing next to the refuse bin.
“When paramedics inspected the container they found an infant, no older than one month. The baby was declared dead when no signs of life were evident”, said Russel Meiring of ER24.
The security told paramedics that a homeless woman who had been searching the bin made him aware of the infant.
