Costa Rica Probes Ex-Yankee's Son Resort Death

Costa Rican authorities continue to investigate the death of 14-year-old Miller Gardner, son of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, at the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort. Initial toxicology indicated lethal carbon monoxide poisoning, but officials are now considering whether the death was natural, accidental, or a homicide. The resort disputes findings of high carbon monoxide in the family’s room, asserting the dangerous levels were limited to a mechanical area. The Gardner family and others became ill during the vacation, but the family has not commented beyond initial public expressions of grief. Prosecutors emphasize that no conclusions can yet be drawn and the investigation remains open with no set timeline. Authorities continue to gather evidence before determining if charges will be filed or the case closed.
