Police: Trash, not baby, found in garbage can

November 8, 2009

What police and fire officials initially thought was a dead baby in a garbage can in an alley on the Southwest Side Sunday morning turned out to be trash — possibly remnants of some sort of Halloween prank.

About 9:20 a.m., police discovered what they thought was a deceased baby in a garbage can at 5253 S. Kostner Ave., according to Fire Media Affairs Dir. Larry Langford.

Upon further investigation, officials realized there were no remains in the garbage can — but possibly coconuts, police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak said.

A Chicago Lawn District officer said the materials may have been remnants from some sort of Halloween prank or display.
