Miller Gardner, son of ex-Yankees star, died from carbon monoxide poisoning, officials say

Officials in Costa Rica have confirmed the official cause of death of Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former New York Yankees player Brett Gardner who died under mysterious circumstances on March 21 while on a family vacation.
