An American woman was arrested in Paris after she allegedly threw a newborn baby out of a hotel window, according to reports.
The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed the incident, first reported by local outlet Paris Match, with the New York Post on Monday. The child was thrown out of the window earlier that morning.
The fall reportedly took place from a second-floor window. The newborn was given emergency medical care but did not survive.
The hotel is located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, a neighborhood popular with tourists seeking to visit the Père Lachaise Cemetery, where Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Frédéric Chopin and other notable people are buried.
