CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A Cape Coral mother was arrested after her child was found not breathing and unresponsive on June 30, officials said.
Patrina Gordon Miller, 30, called 911 to get help for her daughter that was not breathing, officers with the Cape Coral Police Department said. Officers said they found the 7-month-old unresponsive on the living room floor.
Rescue crews arrived shortly after and rushed the baby to a nearby hospital because she was not breathing on her own, police said.
The baby was in respiratory arrest and had pinpoint pupils when she arrived at the hospital, officers said. The doctor suspected that the child ingested an opioid and administered Narcan. Immediately after the dose, the girl cried and her pupils dilated, police said.
Further testing found that the baby girl tested positive for fentanyl.
Miller was the primary caregiver of the child and was arrested on July 16, police said. She faces a felony child neglect charge.
