The toddler who overdosed on opiates on Thursday has died after several days in the hospital.

Akron police administered NARCAN to the 19-month-old on June 1, after an older sibling called 911. The 9-year-old told the 911 dispatcher the baby was not breathing.

An initial dose of NARCAN was ineffective, and the baby was rushed to Akron Children’s Hospital, where a second dose revived the child.

In the 911 call, you can hear the 9-year-old pleading for help. The dispatcher asks for the mother and then tries to talk her through CPR.
