“Tragic Loss: The Gardner Family Mourns the Death of Yankees Star Brett Gardner’s Son, Miller, Revealed to Be Caused by Carbon Monoxide Poisoning”
The Gardner family is mourning the tragic loss of their teenage son, Miller, whose cause of death has been revealed as carbon monoxide poisoning. The incident occurred while the family was on vacation in Costa Rica last month, staying at the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort.
Tragic Circumstances Unfold
Initial reports suggested that Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, had possibly succumbed to food poisoning. However, a recent toxicology report from the Judicial Investigation Agency of Costa Rica has confirmed that Miller’s death was due to high levels of carbon monoxide in his system.
Family Affected, Resort Investigated
Local media reported that several members of the Gardner family also fell ill during their stay at the resort. The family was staying in a room adjacent to a mechanical room, which was identified as the source of the carbon monoxide. The toxicology results revealed a carboxyhemoglobin saturation of 64% in Miller’s system, a level that is considered lethal.
Resort Denies Responsibility
Despite the investigation’s findings, the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort has denied responsibility, claiming that while the mechanical room had high levels of carbon monoxide, Miller’s room did not. The resort’s stance has added to the family’s grief and raised further questions about the safety measures in place.
A Beloved Figure in Baseball
Brett Gardner, who spent his entire 14-year career with the Yankees, including helping the team win the 2009 World Series Championship, is a beloved figure in Major League Baseball. Known for his grit and work ethic, Gardner has been a fan favorite throughout his career. The news of Miller’s death has led to an outpouring of tributes from across the baseball community.
A Heartfelt Obituary
On Tuesday, the Gardner family released an obituary for their 14-year-old son. “The void Miller’s passing leaves in the hearts of his family, friends, teammates, teachers, coaches, and others will be felt for years. Miller’s time here with [the family] was brief, but his spirit will carry on forever through those who were impacted by the way he lived,” the obituary read.
