Costa Rican authorities have revealed more information about Miller Gardner’s death.
Miller’s death profiled.
Miller tragically passed away on March 21 while vacationing with his family in Costa Rica.
The teen’s sudden death followed a mysterious illness that seemed to affect multiple members of the Gardner family.
Doctors who responded to the scene the morning Miller was found unresponsive spent over 30 minutes trying to revive him.
Despite their best efforts, they were unable to save the young teen, leading to even more questions surrounding his death.
While Costa Rica is known for its beautiful beaches and rainforests, this deadly incident has rocked the local tourism industry.
The Gardner family’s vacation, meant to be a time of relaxation and bonding, has been marred by this devastating loss.
Brett Gardner and his wife shared a heartbreaking obituary for their son on Monday, expressing their grief over his untimely passing.
At first, reports suggested that Miller’s death was due to food poisoning and possible asphyxiation while he slept.
However, that theory has now been ruled out, and authorities are pointing to a more sinister cause.
Possible cause of death unveiled.
The 14-year-old son of Yankees legend Brett Gardner, may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
This revelation comes after investigators found the noxious gas in the Gardner family’s hotel room.
Tests revealed “high levels of carbon monoxide contamination” in the family’s hotel room.
Randall Zúñiga, director of Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigative Agency (OIJ), confirmed this finding in a press conference.
The family’s room was located near a mechanical room, where officials suspect the carbon monoxide could have originated.
Zúñiga explained that the contamination likely spread from a specialized machine room next to the guest rooms.
Details of investigation confirmed.
As the investigation continues, it has become clear that the tragic event may have been caused by a serious safety lapse.
The joint investigation between Costa Rican officials and the FBI is ongoing as they await the final toxicology results.
While officials are still awaiting confirmation, Zúñiga shared that initial findings point to the carbon monoxide as the primary cause of death.
The levels detected in the room were as high as 600 parts per million — a dangerously lethal amount.
To put this into perspective, the recommended safe level of carbon monoxide is zero.
Reactions to carbon monoxide revelation clarified.
The hotel where the Gardners were staying, the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort, had initially distanced itself from food poisoning rumors.
However, their efforts to clear their name were overshadowed by the mounting evidence of carbon monoxide contamination.
Following Miller’s death, the tragedy cast a long shadow over the Costa Rican tourism industry.
Vacationers began canceling their reservations in droves, casting doubt on the safety of the resort and its surrounding area.
As the news spread, comparisons were made to another carbon monoxide tragedy that occurred just the month before.
In Belize, three American tourists were found dead in their hotel room, also victims of carbon monoxide poisoning.
These tragic events have raised serious concerns about the safety of hotel rooms and resorts in the region.
The investigation continues.
Miller’s death has left the family devastated, and the circumstances surrounding his sudden illness remain perplexing.
As authorities await those crucial results, one thing is clear: carbon monoxide poisoning may have claimed yet another life in an unsuspecting hotel room.
For now, the investigation into Miller’s death continues, and both the family and the public wait for answers.
The tragedy has prompted a closer look at hotel safety measures and the potential risks posed by carbon monoxide contamination in vacation spots worldwide.
