Shocking discovery in German town: lifeless 6‑year-old found in car near forest path

The heartbreaking incident was relayed to the German press agency by a police spokesperson in a discussion that took place on Monday morning. Based on accounts, emergency services came across the car around 7:52 PM EST on Wüstmarker Weg in the Brusendorf district. The car was on a forest path near highway number 10, near Schönefelder Kreuz.

Preliminary indications from the response teams show that the car also housed the child's mother, a 40-year-old woman, who was found alive. She was immediately whisked away for medical attention. Although the police informed that the child was six years old, no specifics regarding the gender of the child were divulged.

What transpired on the narrow trail edging the forest and the actual cause of the child's death remains a mystery.

The road where the car was left is encompassed by fields. The surrounding area has been extensively cordoned off with red caution tape. Along with ambulance services, the scene also hosts forensic teams who are striving to understand the cause behind the untimely demise of the child.
