A girl was recently thrown from a bridge into a river inside a backpack. It was found last Thursday by residents of the Brazilian city of São Lourenco da Matain the state of Pernambuco. And everyone in the place is talking about a “miracle”.

According to the doctor Nicolle Galiza, quoted by the newspaper O Globo, the girl presented the umbilical cord still bleeding and amniotic fluid in the body, indicating that the delivery was very recent.

“Already it was cold and very purple. She arrived at the hospital wrapped in the T-shirts of the people who rescued her. She had no signs of injury, trauma or violence of any kind, but her temperature was well below ideal,” said the doctor who treated the boy.

The umbilical cord had signs of having been cut by someone with no medical knowledge and the procedure was not even done to prevent it from losing blood. “There was nothing to prevent the bleeding, we blocked the cord. It’s amazing he didn’t bleed because when there is no clamping the baby loses blood,” he explained.

The discovery occurred a few minutes later, when two fishermen who were in the river they heard crying. Pedro, one of them, said that his partner grabbed the backpack and he opened it: “When I opened it, he was a child. I cried,” she said. .

While the matter is being investigated, authorities have described the case as attempted murder and so far, no possible suspects have been identified. According to witnesses, a man on a motorcycle threw the baby from a bridge into the sea Capibaribe River.

Health officials have noticed the girl is stable and remains under observation in the hospital. She would be discharged in the next few hours. and is already in the custody of public authorities.

The investigators suspect that it is a couple who would have decided in advance kill the creature given the impossibility of supporting her and giving her a decent education.
