England - It was a tragic discovery: a baby was found dead in a caravan this week.

As The Sun reported, a 41-year-old man was arrested shortly afterwards for child endangerment.

The local police had been called to the address in Plymouth, England , following reports from concerned residents.

On the scene, officers made the terrible discovery - but all help came too late for the four-month-old boy.

A spokesperson for the authorities said: "The death of a young baby is devastating and our thoughts are with his family at this terrible time. A criminal investigation has been launched following the child's death."

Although the investigation is still ongoing, the suspect has been released on bail with conditions.
