Infant found dead in Tennessee dorm

Chattanooga authorities say a newborn child was found in a dormitory room at Tennessee Temple University. The infant was pronounced dead at the hospital later that day.

The infant was found where it had been placed under a blanket in a student's room yesterday at DeMoss hall. Paramedics performed CPR on the newborn but were not successful.

Police have not decided whether or not to pursue charges against the 19-year-old who gave birth.

The school is operated by a Baptist sect.
