Costa Rican Resort Disputes Carbon Monoxide Link in Miller Gardner's Death

The resort claims gas levels in the guest room were non-lethal, contradicting earlier reports from Costa Rican authorities as the investigation continues.

  • Miller Gardner, 14-year-old son of former Yankees player Brett Gardner, died on March 21 during a family vacation in Costa Rica, with the cause of death still undetermined.
  • Costa Rican authorities initially reported high levels of carbon monoxide in the hotel room as a potential cause of death, but the resort has denied this claim.
  • The Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort stated that carbon monoxide levels in the guest room were 'non-existent and non-lethal,' with contamination limited to a mechanical room not accessible to guests.
  • The resort has closed the guest room as a precaution while awaiting toxicology and autopsy results, which are expected to provide conclusive answers in the coming months.
  • The Gardner family has returned to the U.S., preparing for memorial services and requesting donations to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Miller's honor.
