Costa Rica Investigates Miller Gardner's Death from Carbon Monoxide

The Costa Rican Ministry of Health has initiated an investigation into the death of Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former New York Yankees player Brett Gardner, who died on March 21 from carbon monoxide poisoning. A toxicology report revealed that Miller had a carboxyhemoglobin saturation level of 64%, significantly above the lethal threshold of 50%. Initial speculation regarding food poisoning was dismissed after an autopsy showed no significant abnormalities in the respiratory tract. The hotel where the family was staying, Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort, is under scrutiny, particularly due to its proximity to a machine room that may have caused the carbon monoxide exposure. Health Minister Mary Munive Angermuller confirmed that the Ministry is gathering information and will release further details as the investigation progresses. The Gardner family expressed their grief and gratitude for the support received during this tragic time.
