Fetuses found in a Lexington cemetery


From WCPO:

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The Fayette County Coroner's office says a second set of remains found at a Lexington cemetery are those of another fetus.

A statement from Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn says the remains found Monday were from a female fetus thought to be 20 to 23 weeks old.

Police say the location of the fetus was 10 to 15 feet from the body of a 22-week-old fetus found last week.

The coroner's office says DNA testing will be done to see if there is a relationship between the two fetuses.


And WLEX:

The latest discovery came at about 10 a.m. Monday near the Hillcrest Cemetery on Versailles Road, just few feet from where the first was found last Thursday by a woman walking her dog.

An autopsy Tuesday showed that the second fetus was female and was thought to be in the range of 20-23 weeks gestation. An autopsy showed the first fetus was about 22 weeks.
