New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Former Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner and his family filed a federal lawsuit against a Costa Rican hotel and its Pennsylvania executives, alleging negligence after their 14-year-old son, Miller, died from carbon monoxide poisoning at the resort.
- The lawsuit claims the defendants failed to meet basic safety standards, including the absence of carbon monoxide monitors in the mechanical and guest rooms, leading to multiple family members falling ill during their stay.
- Miller Gardner was pronounced dead after losing consciousness on the fourth night of the family's vacation, while other guests at the resort reportedly suffered similar illnesses.
- Authorities in Costa Rica raided the resort six months after Miller's death, following investigations that ruled out initial theories of food poisoning and confirmed carbon monoxide inhalation as the cause.
