[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The preliminary autopsy results of a newborn baby found dead in a refrigerator in an apartment in Yeosu, Jeonnam, two years after death, confirmed that there were no injuries caused by external force.


According to Yeosu Police Station on the 1st, the preliminary autopsy results of the two-month-old newborn baby found dead in an apartment refrigerator on the 27th of last month showed no signs of physical force applied from outside.


The baby's mother, A (43), gave birth to twins at home in 2018 and it was confirmed that the births were not registered.


In the police investigation, A reportedly stated, "I came home from work and found the baby boy dead."


The police have arrested A on charges including abandonment of a corpse and plan to send her to the prosecution within two weeks at the earliest.


The final autopsy results are expected to be released in two months.


The Child Protection Agency and Yeosu City received a report of child neglect on the 11th of last month and began an investigation. A's eldest son (7) and second daughter (2) were sent to a child victim shelter and separated from their mother.



A police official stated, "The exact cause of death can only be known after the final autopsy results are out," and added, "We are investigating the exact circumstances of the case, including why the body was abandoned."
