A NEWBORN baby has been found dead inside a bag outside a church.
The tragic discovery was made in Notting Hill, West London, just before 1pm today.
Police have now launched an urgent hunt for the tot’s mum amid fears she requires medical attention.
Officers are working to establish the baby’s gender and age.
The Met confirmed the tot was confirmed dead at the scene by paramedics and that an investigation has been launched.
Superintendent Owen Renowden said: “This is an extremely sad and shocking matter and officers are working hard to establish the circumstances around what has taken place.
“This investigation is in the early stages and our immediate priority is to locate the baby’s mother, who we believe may have very recently given birth.
“If you are the baby’s mother and are reading this, please come forward to police or medical professionals.
“You must feel very frightened but please let us help – we are really worried about you and it is vitally important you get medical assistance and support. You can walk into any hospital, or a police station.”
