Young woman imprisoned for abducting baby from Pittsburgh hospital dies
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A western Pennsylvania woman sent to prison for abducting a newborn from a Pittsburgh hospital has died.
Twenty-two-year-old Breona Moore of East McKeesport died late last week at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville. Montour County Coroner Scott Lynn told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review she died of natural causes.
Moore was serving a 2 ½- to-five-year sentence at Muncy state prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping a 3-day-old boy from Magee-Women's Hospital.

In August 2012, dressed as a nurse, Moore told the mother she was taking the infant for tests, then carried him out of the hospital in a handbag. After a five-hour manhunt, police found Moore holding the baby, who was not harmed, in a closet in an office building.
