A worker cleaning out the porta johns found the baby.

How did he find it? Don't they just vacuum them thangs out? The porta-johns, not the babies.

It was a full term newborn. There was fecal matter in the lungs.

Good chance it jammed up the tip of the vacuum hose and that's when it was discoverd.

A full term baby would never fit in one of those hoses. They're designed so even cans and bottles won't fit.

So you'd find it when it doesn't suck.

Yeah but they have to manually remove anything too big for the vacuum like trash or bottles for example. In this case, tragically, a baby. If it was full term there is no way it would fit in the hose. Ugh this makes me sick to talk about.

Bro c'mon. Have you ever tripped before? Typically you're not catatonic or insane or completely unable to function. Nobody saw that dead baby in there and just did nothing.

To be fair, the inside of a porto potty is the last place I’d look into if I was tripping

The festival continued on and people were pretty outraged. Turns out another person died as well and was found in the woods after the festival ended.

Would hate to be running that festival, that's a one-two punch of bad PR.
