Brett Gardner’s 14-year-old son Miller may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning, the Costa Rica Judicial Research Agency (OIJ) announced Monday.
OIJ Director Rándall Zúñiga revealed high levels of carbon monoxide in a briefing in a hotel room at the Gardner family at the Arena Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort in Manuel Antonio.
Zuniga also said in Spanish in her native country that the family room was next to a “specialized machine room” that could have caused contamination.
Miller passed away from sleep on March 19th after he and other members of his family became ill. Initially, officials suspected that he may have died of choking as his body was found in vomit.
When it was ruled out, investigators suggested he may have had a serious case of food poisoning.
OIJ has worked with the US FBI to investigate Miller’s death. The investigation is still open as staff awaits the final toxicology outcomes. Therefore, no official cause of death has been confirmed.
Miller’s family said in a sudden posthumous statement that they “can’t understand yet” without him. He loved soccer, baseball, golf, hunting, fishing, his family and his friends. He lived his life every day.”
