CHIBA (TR) – The body of a just-born baby was found at Tokyo Disneyland in a wastewater treatment facility, police said on Thursday.

A facility worker found the palm-size body caught on filtration equipment at the facility at around 1 p.m. in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture, Nippon News Network reports (Mar. 16).

The facility, used exclusively by Tokyo Disneyland, was locked, and there were no signs of forced entry from the outside.
