'CODE BLUE'
In 2018, Teddi emotionally revealed that her son Cruz wasn't breathing when he was born.
“We had a really scary delivery with Cruz. They put him on me and one of the nurses was like, ‘He’s not okay, Code Blue.’ And I was just sitting there, and he wasn’t breathing,” she said at the time.
The frightened recalled a sea of doctoring coming in and sweeping Cruz out of the NICU.
"I just remember my sisters were in the room and they’re crying. [Teddi’s] crying. I was like, ‘Holy crap,’ ” her husband Edwin said.
“I was just praying like, ‘Lord, give me one more chance. I’ll never do this again.’";
Cruz was eventually diagnosed with a heart condition and is now in good condition.
An emergency call came in at around 11.30am on May 29 while Goldberg was hiking along the Rustic Canyon.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement: "LAFD Air Ops located the patient and lowered two rescuers down.
"They conducted a patient assessment and determining death for an approximately 35yo [sic] male patient."
