Miller Gardner, the late son of Yankees legend Brett Gardner, may have died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, Costa Rican authorities announced Monday.
Miller, 14, died suddenly while on a vacation with the former outfielder and the rest of the Gardner family at the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort in Costa Rica on March 21.
Asphyxiation following ‘possible food poisoning’ had initially been touted as a potential cause of death but Juan Pablo Alvarado Garcia, of the Judicial Investigations Agency, previously told DailyMail.com that investigators had discounted.
Now, the investigation has revealed that that there were ‘high levels of carbon monoxide contamination’ detected in the family’s hotel room, Randall Zúñiga, general director of Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigative Agency, said, per the New York Post.
