A newborn baby was found dead in a portable bathroom at a Michigan dance music festival on Sunday, and organizers are now appealing for festivalgoers to come forward with information.

“It causes us so much pain to have to share this difficult news with you,” Electric Forest festival organizers wrote online on Sunday night. Saying the organizers were “heartbroken”, the statement added: “Michigan state police continues to investigate this tragic event, if you can assist in any way.”

Michigan state police said in a separate statement said the body of a “neonate” – which is a newborn infant who is four weeks old or younger – was found in a portable bathroom in the camping area of the festival. An employee of the portable bathroom vendor working with the vendor found the newborn during routine maintenance.
