Video After The Jump
HOUSTON, Texas (KHOU) – Authorities in Texas are investigating after a plumber found what is apparently a fetus inside of a pipe in an apartment complex.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to a complex in Houston around 10:30 a.m. Monday.
Detectives said a plumber working outside of 1 of the apartment buildings found a fetus when he opened a pipe outside of 1 of the buildings. The fetus is believed to just be weeks old.
Neighbors said they had been complaining about backups since Friday.
A woman from the building the pipe was connected to was later taken away in an ambulance.
Neighbors were on the scene to find out what had happened.
“All I saw when I looked out my window, which is right up there, was all the police cars like, ‘What the heck is going on?’ Never thought anything like this in a million years,” one neighbor, Linda McQueen, said.
The incident remains under investigation. Detectives said it is possibly related to a miscarriage.
“We hope whoever it is comes forward & gets some medical attention because that’s sad to lose a baby like that & not tell nobody,” neighbor Paula Smith said.
According to the March of Dimes, about 80% of miscarriages happen before the 12th week of pregnancy.
Medical and emotional support is highly recommended when they occur.
When news crews first arrived at the scene, they said another woman was seen being taken away in handcuffs.
It is unclear whether this incident is related to the woman taken by ambulance.
