Twin infants were found by a dumpster Tuesday in Fairfield, and one did not survive, according to police.
Police said the babies were found in the 300 block of Pittman Road in Fairfield, a city about halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento.
Around 4:11 p.m., Fairfield officers responded to a call regarding a woman behind a business in the 300 block of Pittman Road. An employee who called also told dispatchers two infants were with her and appeared to have been recently birthed on the sidewalk behind the businesses, police said.
Arriving officers searched the area and located the two newborns, but no mother.
The first officer who arrived immediately started life-saving efforts on one of the newborns and turned care over to the fire department, police said. That infant was taken to a hospital and was in stable condition.
The other infant was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Officers searched the area and found a female nearby on Central Place, and based on their observations, it appeared she had recently given birth, police said. The mother was detained and taken to a hospital for treatment.
