Authorities said two well-developed human foetuses, apparently twins, were found dead along a road near a San Diego County church on Friday.

Sheriff’s officials say a man called 911 on Friday afternoon to report the gruesome discovery in Fallbrook. The man said he initially thought it was a doll wrapped in a blanket.

Paramedics confirmed that the two foetuses were dead. Homicide detectives are investigating.

Sheriff’s lieutenant John Maryon says the foetuses were well-developed and appeared to be five months along or older. The cause of their death wasn’t immediately known. An autopsy is planned.
