Infant Revived With Narcan In Worcester Apartment
BOSTON (CBS) - Worcester Police say a 15-month-old boy was given Narcan by first responders at an apartment on Wellington Street last week.
A search warrant filed in the case states the boy was acting lethargic on January 12th. The paperwork claims the boy "was having respiratory complications, was about to go into cardiac arrest & his pupils were dilated."
The boy was taken to UMass Lake Avenue and treated. There he tested negative for the drugs heroin, marijuana and cocaine, but at the time the search warrant was issued, test results were not in for Clonidine. The prescription heart medication was found in the apartment and its effects can also be reversed by the overdose drug Narcan.
The boy's 23-year-old mother was visiting the Wellington Street apartment the day he became ill.
A 2-year-old girl, Gigi Brown, died in the very same apartment this past September. The two children are not related.
Her death, and the apparent overdose of the boy, remain under investigation. No charges have been filed in either case.
Friends of the boy's family say he is now in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.
