Fountain Inn Police Chief Keith Morton says the baby was in a sealed container inside another sealed container for an undetermined amount of time.
No charges have been filed at this time.
Authorities did not provide the baby’s gender or age.
“The landlord was coming down and she was just crying,” said Bianca Jackson, a resident at the complex, “I’m like, ‘Miss Reina, what’s wrong?’ And she was like ‘Bianca, there’s a dead baby up there.”
“You could actually smell it coming down once they lifted the tops open,” Jackson said.
Fountain Inn Police Department are investigating the infant’s death, along with the S.C. Law Enforcement Division.
