Authorities in West Virginia are investigating a disturbing discovery at a local cemetery, where an infant’s corpse and a damaged casket were found on the grounds.
A family visiting the cemetery made the shocking find and immediately alerted law enforcement. When deputies arrived, they discovered the remains of a baby boy, estimated to have been a few months old at the time of burial, along with a broken casket nearby.
Investigators are working to determine where the infant was originally buried. A search of the cemetery found no evidence of disturbed graves, raising questions about whether the remains were moved from another location. Officials described the situation as highly unusual and deeply concerning.
The infant’s body has been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for further examination. Authorities are asking the public to come forward with any information or concerns about disturbed graves in the area.
While the investigation continues, officials have stated that there is no immediate indication of similar incidents occurring elsewhere.
