Michigan State Police said a restroom employee found the body during routine maintenance, and troopers said there is no known threat to the public.
On Sunday morning, Michigan State Police troopers discovered the body of a newborn infant in a portable restroom at the Electric Forest music festival in Rothbury, Michigan.
A restroom vending company employee discovered the body during routine maintenance in the camping area of the festival, which began its 14th year on Thursday at Double JJ Ranch.
No details regarding the newborn's identity or the circumstances of the death have been released, though MSP investigators confirmed there is no known threat to the public.
MSP officials requested the public avoid social media speculation out of respect for the investigation and urged anyone with information to contact the agency.
The sold-out Electric Forest festival, which features dozens of DJs and music artists, is scheduled to conclude its final day on Sunday night.
