Baby's Corpse Found At Building Where Newborn Thrown Out Window

A mummified corpse of an infant was found Wednesday in the same airshaft where police had rescued a newborn allegedly tossed out a bathroom window by his teenage mother just a day earlier, authorities said.

Lucila Ventura, 18, a high school junior, was arrested Wednesday and charged with throwing her newborn son out a third-story window and into the air shaft at the West New York apartment building. Ventura was charged with attempted murder and other charges.

Trash piled at the bottom of the shaft broke the baby's fall, and he survived. The baby was in critical condition at Jersey City Medical Center with a skull fracture.

When investigators returned to the scene Wednesday, they discovered the remains of a full-term baby beneath the cigarette packages and other trash.

Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said the baby died at least a year ago, but its gender and cause of death haven't been determined.
