The 10-month-old boy was playing with his twin brother at George Moscone Park in the Marina District on Tuesday, November 29 when his nanny Marroqui noticed him having trouble breathing and going blue. "I shook him, and I'm like, something's wrong. I saw his face and he was dizzy. I thought he's not breathing," Marroqui told WRAL. She said that the baby had been playing, as usual, crawling around the grass and putting leaves in his mouth, when he suddenly became ill, prompting her to call 911. The boy was saved by paramedics by receiving a dose of the anti-opioid drug Narcan after they had established that nothing was obstructing his airway, according to the boy's 35-year-old father. The baby started crying and breathing again in a matter of seconds.
