A preliminary investigation into the death of Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former New York Yankee Brett Gardner, indicates he may have died from possible food poisoning.
Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Agency said in a statement Monday it appeared he died of asphyxiation, but the the agency shared another update Tuesday ruling that out.
"Preliminary reports indicate the cause of death is asphyxiation following possible food poisoning," the initial statement read.
The update on Tuesday, however, said, "A consultation was conducted with the doctor of the Forensic Pathology Section of the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) and it is preliminarily ruled out that the cause of death was asphyxiation, because at the time of inspection of the body, no macro-level anomalies were observed in the respiratory tract.
