Remains of a child found in duffel bag this morning on North 38th Street Philly Police confirm. Man doing work in back of the property found the duffel bag with “severely decomposed remains of a child.”
According to police, the grim discovery was made when Community Life Improvement Program workers, who were cleaning along the 600 block of N. 38th Street in West Philadelphia’s Mantua neighborhood, opened up a duffel bag that they found.
Inside, officials said, the workers found the unidentified remains of a child believed to have been between the ages of two and four years old.
A law enforcement official told NBC10 that police secured the location at about 10:15 a.m. and that the remains were “in the poor state of decomposition” and were likely in that bag for some time.
Police are still working to identify the remains and have not yet determined how the child may have died.
