A “STARVING” newborn has been rescued after its mother died and it spent days alone without food or water.

Cops found the baby “clinging to life” when they visited the house in south Phoenix, Arizona.

They were responding to a calls from neighbours who were concerned because the mother had not been seen for several days.

Bodycam footage shows officers calling into the house from the yard, and then breaking to door down when they received no response.

A tiny baby wrapped in blankets can be seen lying in the bed alongside its mother’s body.

An officer puts the child in a stroller before medics take over and deliver life-saving care.

The Phoenix Police reported, “Inside the residence, they found the mother had died, while her baby was found alive but extremely dehydrated and fighting to survive.”

“The baby was taken to the hospital in critical condition.”

Investigators described the infant as “visibly emaciated”.

Cops added: “We are happy to report the infant’s condition has improved greatly, and they’re expected to survive.”

Officers told Arizona Family they had peered through the window and seen a woman who was not moving inside the home.

Phoenix Police spokesperson Sgt. Brian Bower stated, “The mother had passed away, leaving the child still on the bed, nestled in the spot where the mother had placed them.”

“Doctors and hospital staff revealed later on that had the police officers not acted swiftly to give assistance and enter the apartment, the child’s chances of survival could have been dire,” he added.

Bower praised the “smart, immediate actions of the officers as well as the neighbours seeing something unusual and calling in for help”.

The baby is now being looked after by the Department of Child Safety and police are investigating how the mother died.

The miracle rescue in Phoenix follows a horrific discovery in Madrid, Spain of a newborn who had been decapitated – prompting a manhunt.

The baby girl was born alive – and was just five days old when she was brutally killed, doctors confirmed.

Her tragic remains were found in several plastic bags in a recycling centre in Madrid, Spain.

A repulsed worker made the harrowing discovery at a garbage plant in Loeches.

The horror crime is being investigated by Spanish police who have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

The crime dates back to December 12, 2024 – and tests have now revealed the terrible sequence of events.

The girl was born alive and was murdered, almost certainly with a knife, reports say.
