Baby found in hospital trash can dies

HOUSTON The Harris County Medical Examiner's Office says an autopsy's planned for the child after doctors at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital removed him from life support Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the child's 29-year-old mother, Genny Granados, remains jailed on a charge of injury to a child. No word yet on whether the charge against her will be upgraded. Bond is set at $50,000.

The child has been on life support since a custodian discovered the child Saturday night at Southwest Memorial Hermann Hospital. The child had no pulse but was revived by doctors.

Granados is a legal U.S. resident from El Salvador who's lived with the father of her 2-year-old son for the past five years. The man, Alfredo Navarro, said he didn't know Granados was pregnant and doesn't think he is the father of the newborn.
