Miller Gardner, 14, Dies From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Costa Rica

The tragic death of 14-year-old Miller Gardner, son of former Yankees player Brett Gardner, is believed to be linked to carbon monoxide poisoning while the family vacationed in Costa Rica. Initial reports suggested food poisoning, but authorities, particularly the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ), have ruled that out after detecting high levels of carbon monoxide in the hotel room. Investigators posited that contamination may have originated from a nearby specialized machine room. As of now, the investigation is ongoing, with toxicology results pending to confirm the exact cause of death. The findings indicate that carbon monoxide levels reached as high as 600 parts per million, well above the safe level of zero. The incident has left the Gardner family and the community in mourning as they seek closure.
