Shocking details about resort where Brett Gardner’s son died exposed.
Days after Brett Gardner and his wife Jessica confirmed their 14-year-old son, Miller, tragically passed away, the Costa Rican resort where they stayed has finally broken its silence.
Miller Gardner’s death profiled.
The family’s vacation to Costa Rica turned devastating after Miller Gardner suddenly died, leaving questions about what exactly happened.
The Gardners became ill on March 20 after visiting a local restaurant.
Miller’s parents and older brother, Hunter, 16, were treated by hotel staff before Miller was tragically found dead the next morning.
The U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica revealed that the Gardner family was in the country for a spring break vacation at the time of Miller’s death.
The embassy confirmed it was working with the Gardners on arranging for Miller’s body to be returned to the United States for final arrangements.
While authorities initially suspected Miller’s death could have been from asphyxiation after ingesting a toxic substance, the ruling was quickly overturned.
Costa Rican officials now say that they found no signs of asphyxiation during their initial body inspection, leaving the cause of death uncertain.
Authorities are still looking into whether Miller’s sudden death could have been caused by the medicine he was given or possibly an underlying health condition triggered by food or the medicine.
Heartbreaking announcement from the Gardner family highlighted.
In a deeply emotional statement shared on March 23, Brett and Jessica Gardner revealed the heartbreaking news of their son Miller’s passing.
“Miller was a beloved son and brother,” they wrote. “We cannot yet comprehend our life without his infectious smile.”
Describing Miller’s spirit, his family recalled that he loved football, baseball, hunting, and fishing, living life to the fullest every single day.
Amid their grief, the Gardners have expressed their confusion, wondering what exactly led to their son’s untimely death. “We have so many questions and so few answers,” they stated.
Tributes for Miller clarified.
Miller’s passing was met with an outpouring of love, with the New York Yankees honoring the teen for his “outgoing and feisty personality.”
Like his father, Miller was athletically inclined, excelling in football, golf, and other outdoor activities, just like his dad Brett, a former Yankee.
Despite Brett’s fame as a New York Yankee, the Gardners kept their family life low-key in South Carolina, rarely in the public eye but always supporting Brett’s career.
In a TikTok post from earlier this year, Miller shared his love for football, showing pictures of himself on the field, and expressing, “Miss it.”
The Yankees, who Brett played for from 2008 to 2021, mourned the loss of Miller, saying he had a “spark in his eyes” and a “warm and loving nature.”
Delayed autopsy results explained.
Authorities have confirmed that Miller’s autopsy results will take months due to the backlog of cases caused by a rise in violent crime in Costa Rica.
Costa Rican officials confirmed that there was no evidence that drugs or alcohol played a role in Miller’s death, narrowing down potential causes.
While the autopsy has been completed, the results will take at least two to three months, and the Gardner family must await the completion of all tests.
The resort, Arenas Del Mar, has now commented publicly.
Hotel’s statement unveiled.
On March 25, two days after the family’s announcement, the resort issued a statement expressing condolences but asserting no connection to the family’s illness leading up to Miller’s death.
“We are deeply saddened by this loss,” the hotel’s representative said.
“We are fully cooperating with authorities as they investigate the factors that led to this tragic incident.”
The resort stressed that the family did not eat at their restaurant on the day before Miller’s death, despite reports that the Gardners had all fallen ill after eating out nearby.
The resort added that it passed a health inspection on March 14 with a high score of 98.5 out of 100, dispelling any potential food safety concerns.
Despite their sympathy, the resort where the tragedy occurred denies any responsibility for the events leading up to Miller’s death, stating they passed health inspections.
Miller’s death still under investigation.
The grief-stricken family is still grappling with unanswered questions, and they are left waiting for any new information as they try to make sense of Miller’s tragic death.
As the investigation continues, the Gardner family remains in limbo.
They await answers that may never fully explain their son’s shocking and untimely death.
As the search for answers drags on, the family, fans, and authorities remain haunted by the tragedy. Will the full story of Miller Gardner’s passing ever come to light? Only time will tell.
