Baca was hospitalized on Nov. 12, a few days after a positive diagnosis. He began to feel ill after a performance in Louisiana on Nov. 7, according to San Antonio Report. A San Antonio hospital had no available rooms to admit him after the diagnosis, Baca decided to self-administer medical equipment until there was a need for hospitalization.
