Adam Smith told NBC affiliate KSDK he had moved into his mother’s home in Missouri as she was battling cancer, to help care for her in her final days.

When she passed away, he started going through her stuff, sorting out what to keep and what to toss. He remembered a box that had been in his mother’s freezer his whole life. He was told never to open it.

“I'm 37 and it has been in my freezer for 37 years. I was always told it was a wedding cake top," Smith told KSDK.

But when he opened it, Smith found a frozen baby, wrapped in pink fleece.

“It still had skin, hair, and everything,” Smith said. “It was mummified.”

Smith said his mother had mentioned she had lost a child before he was born, but he said his mother was a secretive person who would not speak more on the subject.

Omg how rotten to find that. Why didn't she bury the baby, or maybe she wanted to keep it close. For 37 years, his mother told him not to open one box in the freezer. After she died, he finally opened it. 2190311264

I thought it was going to be a Hershey's Mint candy bar. They don't have 'sell-by' dates.
