Fetus Found Dead In Milwaukee Street: Police

MILWAUKEE, WI — A dead fetus was found abandoned in the street on Sunday just before noon near Morgan Avenue and 84th Street, Milwaukee police said in a statement.

Police said they are still looking into what caused the fetus to die. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy and found the human fetus was about 18 weeks into gestation, according to CBS 58 News.

Milwaukee police said they are looking for the mother of the fetus and asked anyone with information to contact police at 414-935-7360 or Crimestoppers at 414-224-TIPS to remain anonymous.

Police did not give more details about the investigation so far. Although the nature of the fetus' death remains unclear, it comes just months after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling pulled the legality of abortion away from Wisconsin. The state's law that mainly bans doctors from performing abortions is being contested by a lawsuit from Democratic leaders.
