Officers who went to the couple's home on Detroit's east side found the baby's body in a trash bin behind the house, the news station reported.
The woman’s husband told police he did not know she’d given birth.
MLive.com reported Tuesday morning that the woman remained on a breathing tube in the hospital's ICU, so investigators had not yet been able to interview her. An autopsy was done Monday on the infant's body, but the cause of death has not been made public.
The case remains under investigation.
