Ethan Carlson joined Denver7 in November 2020. After more than three years as a photographer, he moved into the role of multimedia journalist.
DENVER — What was originally intended to be a story about the day-to-day operations of a City and County of Denver park ranger turned into much more.While interviewing Park Ranger Manager Jodie Marozas, we came across a man who appeared to be sleeping on the sidewalk at La Alma-Lincoln Park.Marozas went to check on the man to make sure that he was okay. She was only able to sporadically rouse him from his sleep and became concerned, so she called for emergency medical services.
“At one point, his heart rate was fine and he was breathing, but there was a period where I noticed that he stopped breathing,” said Marozas. “That’s when I made the decision to NARCAN him.”She administered the NARCAN and waited a long 10 seconds before the man awoke and lifted his head off the ground.“I’m a little shaken up right now,” said Marozas. “I'm obviously grateful that I just happened to come to this park.
