The death of 14-year-old Miller Gardner, son of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, is under investigation in Costa Rica. Initial reports suggested asphyxiation due to possible food poisoning, but Costa Rican authorities have since ruled out asphyxiation as the cause of death. The Gardner family fell ill after a dinner at a hotel in Manuel Antonio, experiencing stomach discomfort. Miller was found deceased in his hotel room Friday morning. Authorities are reviewing security footage, interviewing hotel staff, and awaiting toxicology results to determine if food poisoning was the cause of death. The family has left Costa Rica. Brett and Jessica Gardner described their son as beloved and full of life.
