Former New York Yankees star Brett Gardner has announced that his 14-year-old son Miller died during a family vacation in Costa Rica. The cause of death was initially ruled as asphyxiation, but it has been retracted after new evidence revealed high levels of carbon monoxide contamination in their hotel room. An investigation by Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Agency is ongoing.
In an emotional statement shared on the Yankees’ official X account, Brett and his wife Jessica described Miller as a loving son who died peacefully in his sleep. They expressed gratitude for support from friends, family, and fans, but requested privacy during this difficult time. The agency has confirmed that hazardous atmospheres were found in the room where Miller’s family was staying.
The investigation is still ongoing, with forensic toxicology results pending to determine the exact cause of death. A spokesperson for the Judicial Investigation Agency stated that no macro-level abnormalities were observed in Miller’s body. The Yankees organization has offered support and condolences to Brett and his family, acknowledging an “unimaginable loss.”
