Yankees Honor Miller Gardner as Investigation into His Death Continues

The 14-year-old son of former Yankees player Brett Gardner was remembered on Opening Day, while authorities probe potential links to food poisoning and medication reactions.

Miller Gardner, son of former Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, died unexpectedly on March 21 during a family vacation in Costa Rica after experiencing severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
Initial reports of asphyxiation due to food poisoning have been ruled out, with investigators now examining possible allergic reactions to medication administered to treat his symptoms.
Toxicology and autopsy results, which could take up to three months, are expected to shed light on the cause of death as authorities continue their investigation.
The Gardner family, who also fell ill during the trip, has expressed their grief and unanswered questions, describing Miller as a beloved son with an infectious smile.
The Yankees held a moment of silence for Miller during their Opening Day game, with players, fans, and former teammates paying tribute to the teenager's memory.
