In a tragic discovery, a dead baby girl, named ‘Ava’ by the authorities, was found in a snowy field in Little Hulton, Salford, Greater Manchester. The baby girl’s remains were found by a dog walker near the M61 over a week ago on Wednesday, November 20. A post-mortem examination conducted recently confirmed that the baby was indeed a newborn baby girl.

The cause of the baby’s death is still undetermined, with further tests needed to establish the circumstances of her passing. Detective Inspector Charlotte Whalley expressed the community’s shared grief over the heartbreaking incident, stating, “We know that this case has touched the hearts of many people across Greater Manchester, and like you, we’re determined to find out what happened to this little girl.”

Forensic teams and police have been meticulously combing the area where Ava was found, a former colliery site now transformed into a known beauty spot. Detectives have been sifting through CCTV footage and conducting door-to-door inquiries in the shocked community. Efforts are underway to locate Ava’s mother, who may require medical assistance, or any family members who can provide information about the events leading up to Ava’s separation.

Tributes including teddies and flowers have been left at the scene where Ava was discovered, with one note reading, “RIP Baby A.” The public tributes will be donated to children’s charities as the scene is set to close soon. Greater Manchester Police continue to urge anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the importance of finding the truth for Ava.
