THE mum of a stillborn baby discovered in a pub toilet has been found after the girl’s “distressing” death.
The baby was tragically found at the Three Horse Shoes, in Oulton, near Leeds, on Sunday.
It was sadly revealed that the mother had given birth to the stillborn baby in the cubicle.
Detectives were on Monday pleading for the mum to make herself known as concerns for her welfare grew.
West Yorkshire Police has now said they have identified a woman who they believe is the mother.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: “Police enquiries have identified a woman believed to be the mother of a newborn baby girl found deceased in a public house in Oulton.
“She has now received the appropriate medical care and is being given ongoing support.
“Thank you to everyone who supported us with our enquiries.”
Paramedics rushed to the scene where they confirmed the infant was deceased at around 4.45pm.
It is understood the pub was in the middle of Sunday roast service when the heartbreaking find was made.
Owners apologised to customers on Facebook and remained closed on Tuesday.
