The wife of the building's superintendent found the body while cleaning a concrete courtyard behind the building, reports the New York Times. She called 911, and the baby was pronounced dead at the scene, the AP reports. "I've never seen something so unhuman like that," the son of the woman who found the baby tells WABC. "I don't know what kind of mother would be to do that." The baby's mother, Jennifer Berry, allegedly told police she gave birth in the shower Monday, the Daily News reports.
