MANCHESTER, NH — The body recovered from a park in New Hampshire Thursday was that of a newborn baby girl, officials said Friday.

The infant’s body was found in the pond at Pine Island Park in Manchester around 4:00 p.m. Thursday, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella’s office.

Formella noted that the death is considered suspicious.

Manchester police said they haven’t determined the baby girl’s cause of death but noted that just because the body was found in the pond, it doesn’t mean the birth happened in that area or that the mother is from Manchester.
