Body Found In Woods Was Newborn Baby

Police in North Bay confirmed Saturday that the body found in a wooded area was that of a new-born boy.

Two teens made the grisly discovery Friday night off a well travelled trail near the North Bay Ski club.   Police say the infant was full term, 8 and a quarter pounds with brown hair.  

"The baby obviously was susceptible to environmental factors due to the changing seasons, hot, cold, hot, cold. We're trying to gather witness evidence as well," revealed Sgt. Chuck Seguin.

An autopsy was performed in Toronto at Sick Kids Hospital , but police aren't saying how the newborn died.
