A newborn was discovered dead in a porta potty at Electric Forest festival in Michigan when a maintenance worker conducting routine checks found the body in the camping area's portable toilet facilities on Sunday morning. Physical evidence recovered from the scene, including the placenta and umbilical cord, suggested the child had been born inside the toilet.

Further investigation by Michigan State Police revealed that the newborn was alive at the time of birth, according to findings disclosed by authorities. The discovery has prompted investigation into the circumstances of the birth and raised questions about how the tragedy unfolded at the festival venue.
