Comox Valley RCMP are reaching out to the public to try and determine the origin of human placenta discovered at a beach.
On October 2, a woman called Comox Valley RCMP stating she had discovered a placenta along the beach at Goose Spit.
She was unsure if the placenta belonged to a human or not, and so she called RCMP. Police say an initial investigation revealed that it does, in fact, belong to a human being.
“It is with an abundance of caution that we are reaching out to the public,” said Cst. Monika
Terragni in a statement.
“This placenta may be associated to a mother and/or baby who require medical assistance. We want to ensure they’re alright and have access to any medical care required.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Comox Valley RCMP at (250) 338-1321.
Those who wish to remain anonymous should contact Comox Valley Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or go online to comoxvalleycrimestoppers.bc.ca.
