PHILADELPHIA – Autopsies had previously been performed on two babies whose bodies were found next to a trash-littered used car lot in Philadelphia, police said on Sunday.

The bodies of a baby boy and girl were discovered in the Kensington neighborhood just before 10:30 a.m. Sunday, authorities said. The babies were pronounced dead minutes later by a medical unit and homicide detectives were notified.

Police said Sunday night that while processing the scene, the medical examiner discovered the babies “had an autopsy performed on them by unknown medical personnel at an unknown time.”

Although police originally said the babes were newborns, a spokeswoman said Sunday night that the medical examiner was “unable to provide an approximate age.”
