The bus was traveling south when the unusual discovery was made. The bus runs between Towson and downtown Baltimore.

“Even though I wasn’t on the bus, that’s exactly what we’re going through these days, learning that something like this happened on the bus,” resident Jeff McKoy told WBAL, noting that he frequently visits the area.

The incident remains under investigation.

There have been other incidents in recent months in which babies have been discovered in unusual places.

Last month, a dead baby was found in a dumpster in Florida. Brusela D’Enstachio-Lugo, 34, admitted to giving birth to the child outside her home on May 10. She said she did not know she was pregnant and did not go to the hospital because she was in the country illegally and did not have money to pay for the medical costs. She also admitted to throwing the baby’s remains in the dumpster.

D’Enstachio-Lugo was charged with a misdemeanor related to the storage of human remains. Her DNA was collected and the Department of Homeland Security was contacted.

In March, police in Leesburg, Virginia, said a community member found a “late-stage fetus” in a pond.
