Gardner Family Tragedy: Carbon Monoxide Suspected

The tragic death of 14-year-old Miller Gardner, son of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, is under investigation as a potential carbon monoxide poisoning. Miller died on March 21 during a family vacation in Costa Rica, where he and several family members became ill. The Costa Rican Judicial Investigation Department found high levels of carbon monoxide in the hotel room adjacent to a machine room, suggesting contamination as a cause. Initial suspicions of food poisoning and asphyxiation were ruled out by authorities. The final cause of death is pending further toxicology tests, but foul play is not suspected. The Gardner family and the New York Yankees have expressed profound grief over the loss.
