LONDON, Aug 21 (Reuters) Police are investigating after the discovery of a baby girl's body which may have been dumped in a bin in toilets at Heathrow airport.

Officers were called at around 1030 hrs today by staff at a hygiene waste company in Park Royal, London, after an employee found the body of a baby girl in a bin of clinical waste.

It is believed the bin had previously been collected from Heathrow, a police statement said.

''We await a post mortem to establish the age and ethnicity of the baby,'' it added ''The death is being treated as suspicious at this early stage.'' At Heathrow, police sealed off a toilet block in the terminal three baggage hall. The toilets are situated airside close to the baggage carousels.

The area was cordoned off and officers were posted outside.
