Rochester police said in a Facebook post that “employees had found what appeared to be the body of a human baby in the recycling products.”
“All processing was stopped, and the Rochester Police began investigating,” police said.
The Medical Examiner is determining the cause of death. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Massachusetts State Police.
“This is the same facility on the Cranberry Highway where remains of an infant were found back in April. In that case, police said they believed the baby’s mother may have had ties to Martha’s Vineyard,” according to the report.
