Miller Gardner's Death Confirmed as Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Costa Rica

Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, died from carbon monoxide poisoning while on vacation in Costa Rica. Initial theories suggested asphyxiation or food poisoning, but toxicology results revealed a carboxyhemoglobin saturation level of 64%, indicating lethal exposure to the gas. Authorities detected carbon monoxide levels as high as 600 parts per million in the hotel room, which prompted an investigation into potential contamination from a nearby machine room. Despite these findings, the hotel disputed the conclusions, claiming that carbon monoxide levels were non-existent and non-lethal. The Gardner family, devastated by the loss, shared their grief publicly, reflecting on the void left by Miller's passing. The case has now been closed as authorities confirmed the cause of death.
