From Times Wire Reports
A partially mummified baby, apparently born in the 1950s and discovered by a woman cleaning out her dead parents’ storage unit, died of an “undetermined” cause, a coroner said.
The unidentified boy was found by the daughter of an elderly couple who rented the Delray Beach storage unit in 1996. The man died several years ago, and the woman died last year, police said.
Odette Lamanna, 46, discovered the child wrapped in a Jan. 9, 1957, edition of the New York Daily News and stuffed inside a small suitcase that was inside a larger suitcase.
