Bronx Teen Allegedly Dumps Stillborn In Garbage Chute

NEW YORK — Authorities have charged 19-year-old Ariel Devonish-Francis of the Bronx with unlawful disposal of a cadaver for allegedly throwing her newborn down a garbage chute.

On Saturday, Devonish-Francis reportedly gave birth to a baby boy in her bathroom at the West Farms Road Rehabs projects. Her brother was reportedly home at the time, but wasn’t aware that she was pregnant.

After reportedly delivering her stillborn, Devonish-Francis visited the Albert Einstein University Hospital for medical treatment.

There, she reportedly told hospital staff that she dumped the baby down her building’s garbage chute.

And on Sunday, the medical examiner’s office ruled the fetus a stillborn once they conducted an autopsy.
