Baby Found Dead at Houston-Area House, Mom in Hospital

A newborn has been found dead at a Houston-area home after the mother went to a hospital and reported giving birth nearly a week earlier.

Harris County sheriff's deputies located the dead baby after the woman sought medical attention Thursday.

Authorities say medical personnel determined the 30-year-old woman recently gave birth and asked about the baby.

The woman provided an address. Deputies who went to the house located the dead child. Officials believe the child was born last Friday.

Investigators did not immediately provide additional information.
