Four young children – ranging in age from eight months to two years old – showed signs of suspected opioid overdose after spending time at the childcare centre.
The owner of a New York City childcare centre and a tenant living in the building have been arrested after a one-year-old boy died and three other young children were hospitalised by what officials described as exposure to opioids.
Police investigate the scene at a childcare centre after a one-year-old boy died and three other young children were hospitalised.Nicholas Dominici, a one-year-old child, was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Three others were revived after medics administered doses of the overdose-reversing drug Narcan, authorities said.
Nicholas’ parents, Zoila Dominici and Otoniel Feliz, said their young child had started attending the centre only a week ago. New York City, like much of the country, has seen rising levels of opioid-related deaths, with the vast majority of fatalities now attributed to Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that can be more than 50 times stronger than heroin.Mayor Eric Adams said Dominici’s death underscored challenges the city faces in its fight against opioids.
