At around 10:25 a.m. on Sunday, a 45-year-old man working on a boat moored in the Horikawa River in Minato-ku, Nagoya, found the baby floating in the river, and alerted the local office of the Japan Coast Guard (JCG), which in turn notified local police.

Police officers pronounced her dead at the scene. Local police launched an investigation on suspicion of abandoning a corpse and are expected to conduct an autopsy on her body to determine the cause of her death.
