The incident unfolded around 6 a.m. Monday when the mother allegedly threw her baby from the second-floor window of an Ibis Styles hotel in eastern Paris, located in the 20th district in Porte de Montreuil, according to a police source and the Paris public prosecutors office.
The mother, who was reportedly traveling with a “group of young adults traveling in Europe,” is said to have given birth in the hotel room on the second floor before attempting to rid of the child.
‘The newborn was treated urgently but did not survive’ said the Paris public prosecutors office.
An 18-year-old American woman has been arrested in Paris after she was accused of hurling her newborn child reportedly “with the umbilical cord” still attached out of a hotel window.
The Independent contacted the Paris public prosecutor's office and the U.S. embassy in Paris for further information.
