A Palestinian baby was born with a severed head and authorities are investigating whether medical error was involved, newspapers reported on Thursday.

An obstetrics doctor delivering the Palestinian woman in a government hospital in the West Bank town of Hebron was trying to pull the boy out when his head came off.

The woman had a premature delivery in the seventh month and doctors said the baby could be suffering from muscular problems.

Newspapers said the baby’s relatives decided to send the body to autopsy to determine whether the severing of the head was caused by medical error.
