KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police in Kansas City say a fetus found dead in a trash truck was a boy born prematurely.

The truck’s crew found the body Monday morning along a residential route.

On Tuesday, the Jackson County medical examiner’s office determined the fetus had reached 29 to 34 weeks of development.

Police believe it was a premature home birth, and they asked the public to come forward with information about someone whose pregnancy may have ended abruptly.
