Ongoing Investigation into Possible Homicide in Death of Brett Gardner’s Son

The death of Brett Gardner’s 14-year-old son, Miller, is still under investigation as authorities explore the possibility of homicide. Officials initially ruled the cause of death as carbon monoxide poisoning, but the Costa Rican prosecutor’s office continues to evaluate the circumstances. Miller died on March 21, and the family announced his passing on March 23, with the investigation ongoing as they seek answers to their questions.

Authorities conducted tests for carboxyhemoglobin, a compound formed when carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in the blood, which showed a saturation level of 64%. This is considered lethal when the level exceeds 50%. The family stayed at the Arenas Del Mar hotel in Manuel Antonio, and several members fell ill during the trip, as reported. The investigation is still focused on determining whether the death was due to an accident or a crime, as the family seeks to understand the circumstances surrounding Miller’s passing.

Brett Gardner, a former New York Yankees outfielder, was a 14-season MLB player who last played for the Yankees in 2021, having been part of the team’s World Series victory in 2009. The family has expressed their grief and loss, emphasizing Miller’s personality and the impact his death has had on their lives. As the investigation proceeds, the family awaits further information to help them process their loss and seek justice, if necessary.
