Costa Rican Investigation Ongoing into Miller Gardner's Death

Costa Rican authorities are investigating the death of Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former Yankees player Brett Gardner, who died on March 21 during a family vacation. Initial theories suggested asphyxiation due to food poisoning, but investigations revealed high levels of carbon monoxide in the family's hotel room, with concentrations reaching 600 parts per million—significantly above the safe level of zero. Officials believe the contamination may have originated from a specialized machine room adjacent to the guest rooms. The autopsy results are pending, and the family has expressed their sorrow, sharing that Miller was a beloved son and brother. This incident follows a recent case where three American tourists died from carbon monoxide poisoning in Costa Rica. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities await final toxicology results.
