A new toxicology analysis conducted by officials in Costa Rica has confirmed that 14-year-old Miller Gardner — son of former New York Yankees player Brett Gardner — passed away due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Testing revealed that Miller's blood contained a carboxyhemoglobin saturation level of 64%, according to Costa Rican authorities. Experts consider any levels above 50% to be fatal. No additional toxic substances or narcotics, including fentanyl, were detected in his system.

Miller reportedly died in his sleep during the early hours of March 21. The family was staying at a luxury resort in Costa Rica at the time. While the property has not released a statement in direct response to the toxicology findings, it previously claimed that any high carbon monoxide levels were confined to a nearby machine room, not the suite where Miller was staying.
According to a source familiar with the investigation in Costa Rica, the family dined at a local restaurant near the resort the evening before Miller died. After returning to the hotel, they began to feel unwell.

We are so thankful to all who have reached out to offer support and encouragement during this difficult time and we are confident our faith, family, and friends will help us navigate this unimaginable loss."
