The 4-day-old boy, who was found alive near the smashed-in body of a still-unidentified woman in Vasai last week, succumbed to his critical condition yesterday. He was first admitted to the Vasai-Virar Mahanagar Palika Hospital and later shifted to the Patriot Hospital, where he died while being treated.
