Costa Rica’s Ministry of Health has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Miller Gardner’s death, Us Weekly can confirm.
The country’s Minister of Health, Mary Munive Angermüller, tells Us that the organization is looking into the death of New York Yankees alum Brett Gardner’s 14-year-old son after he suffered carbon monoxide inhalation.
Miller’s cause of death had been ruled as carbon monoxide poisoning, per an official report from the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ).
“In response to inquiries about this case, the Ministry of Health is currently gathering information and carrying out the necessary procedures,” a Friday, April 4, statement reads. “For this reason, no further details can be provided at this time. However, once the facts are clarified, more information will be released.”
Miller Gardner's Official Cause of Death Confirmed by Toxicology Results
Miller, the youngest son of Brett and wife Jessica Gardner, died in March during the family’s trip to Costa Rica. (The married couple also share eldest son Hunter.)
“With heavy hearts, we are saddened to announce the passing of our youngest son, Miller. He was 14 years old and has left us far too soon after falling ill along with several other family members while on vacation,” Brett, 41, and Jessica, wrote in a statement shared via the New York Yankees’ X account on March 23. “We have so many questions and so few answers at this point, but we do know that he passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Friday, March 21st.”
They added, “Miller was a beloved son and brother and we cannot yet comprehend our life without his infectious smile. He loved football, baseball, golf, hunting, fishing, his family and his friends. He lived life to the fullest every single day.”
Brett, who played his entire career with the Yankees before his 2021 retirement, and Jessica further noted their gratitude for fan support after Miller’s passing.
Who Could Face Charges and Prison Sentences Over Miller Gardner's Death?
“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,” Brett and Jessica concluded their statement. “Our prayers go out to Miller’s teammates and friends, as well as to all other families who have lost a child far too soon as we share their grief.”
News broke weeks later that carbon monoxide had been found in Miller’s room, which the hotel refuted in a statement to Us.
“We understand the concern has grown and to clarify the high levels of carbon monoxide were in a mechanical room that guests do not occupy,” Dana Cohen, a spokesperson for the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort, said in an April 1 statement. “The levels in the hotel room were non-existent and non-lethal. There was an error in this initial reporting. As mentioned, we await for conclusive results to confirm the cause of this unfortunate death.”

Jessica Alba is basking in the best of vacation bliss with her three children.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday, April 4, Alba, 43, offered a glimpse into the family’s latest getaway.
In one snap, Alba wore a beachy, lilac sundress with a matching cardigan as she posed with daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, as well as son Hayes, 6, during dinner. Honor sported a strapless navy frock, while her sister went with an all-black ensemble. Hayes, meanwhile, opted for a teal, patterned two-piece.
Several hours earlier, Alba documented their family’s “perfect beach day” with a group of friends. At the time, the actress stunned in a black bikini while relaxing on the sand.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s Family Album Over the Years
Alba shares her three children with estranged husband Cash Warren, from whom she filed for divorce in February.
“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba wrote via Instagram weeks earlier in January, announcing the breakup. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”
She added, “We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.”
A source told Us Weekly that same month Alba and Warren, 46, privately navigated “many ups and downs” during their 16-year marriage.
“They have tried therapy and have worked out past issues over the years,” the insider exclusively told Us. “There were trust issues in the past, which led to many arguments. The marriage ran its course. Their communication hadn’t been great.”
Warren has not publicly addressed the pair’s separation, though he opened up to Us about their relationship last year.
“Unplugging is big. We love taking walks. We love chatting. We love eating good food together. We have so many of the same interests that we enjoy,” Warren told Us in July 2024. “We’re also still willing to participate. Jessica is on an awesome spiritual journey right now. I’ll do sound baths with her. I’ll learn about crystals. I’ll get my charts read. I’ll learn about it alongside her, and she’s always opening me up to new things.”
Jessica Alba Breaks Silence on Cash Warren Split
At the time, Warren also noted that he was “blown away” by Alba’s decision to return to acting after stepping down as CEO from her The Honest Company business.
“What she was able to accomplish with The Honest Company is amazing and she’s still involved. She’s still on the board,” he said. “What I’m absolutely blown away by is she jumped back into acting and her first movie that just came out was called Trigger Warning on Netflix and it was the No. 1 movie in 84 countries and had over a billion streams in its first weekend. I’ve just been blown away that she was able to so elegantly step down from her role with Honest and jump back into acting and immediately find success like that.”

Michelle Williams knew the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain would be a success because of a very special reason.
In an interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Friday, April 4, Williams told the host that the film’s press tour clued her in to the film’s enormous impact.
“I just remember doing the junket and you don’t get an opportunity to see a lot of grown men cry. That was the moment that I think we all knew that it was going to be special to people,” she explained.
The movie starred Jake Gyllenhaal and Willianm’s late ex, Heath Ledger as Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, two men who engage in a secret romantic relationship for 20 years. Williams and Anne Hathaway starred as the men’s prospective wives.
Michelle Williams Through the Years: From ‘Dawson’s Creek’ to the Oscars
(William started dating Ledger in 2004. They welcomed a daughter, Matilda, in 2005 before splitting in 2007. Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose in 2008, months after the couple’s split.)
Cohen also told Williams he was “upset” the movie didn’t win Best Picture at the Oscars. Crash took the honor instead.
In 2024, Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee revealed he was told to wait backstage at the Oscars ceremony following his win for Best Director because everyone believed Brokeback Mountain would win. “I got my award, which was [second to] last to the big one, and I was walking off the stage, they called me down, and said, ‘Stay here. That’s your mark. Everybody assumes you will win, so stay at that mark,” he told IndieWire
“Right next to the stage was the curtain. The next was best picture. ‘Stay here, just stay here,’” he continued. “I saw Jack Nicholson, his profile, he opened the envelope, and I go, ‘Oh my God, oh my God.’ It took like 10 seconds before he announced, and then he went, ‘Crash.’”
Williams currently stars in the Hulu series Dying for Sex, which premiered Friday, April 4. The show follows the story of her character, Molly Kochan, who sets off on a sexual journey after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. The series also stars Jenny Slate as Kochan’s best friend, Nikki Boyer.

The series is based on the podcast by the same name, which documented the actual life of the real Kochan, who died in 2019.
“I was so moved by the podcast — it just absolutely hooked my heart, and I couldn’t ignore it. I was a puddle on the floor,” Williams shared in an interview with Women’s Health published on Friday. “I couldn’t really articulate why it had moved me so deeply. I listened to it again; a puddle on the floor again. There was a connection there that I needed to honor.”

Former Bachelorette Andi Dorfman is getting real about her postpartum journey.
“Alright, I’m just going to go out on a limb and be honest and say [that] postpartum has been harder for me than pregnancy,” Dorfman, 38, said in a Saturday, April 5, Instagram Story video. “Truly, like, from a physical standpoint, it’s obviously been very hard for me to lose weight.”
According to Dorfman, the emotional challenges of the postpartum experience have affected her.
“Like, your hormones are just out of whack,” she admitted. “Nobody prepares you for postpartum. There’s so much stuff on pregnancy, but not a lot on postpartum. You’re also navigating all of this while being exhausted while taking care of your child.”
Bachelorette’s Andi Dorfman Details ‘Dramatic’ 28-Hour Labor With Baby Girl
Dorfman gave birth to daughter Harper, whom she shares with husband Blaine Hart, in December 2024.
“It’s a thing. I feel, like, every woman battles something postpartum,” Dorfman further speculated on Saturday. “Whether it’s external, internal, hormonal [or] all of it. But, yeah, postpartum is the real hard part about having a baby. I’m going to put it there.”
Despite the hardships of postpartum life, Dorfman has been able to lean on husband Hart through it all.
“Especially [during] the first couple of months, I think the word that comes to mind is partnership,” Dorfman said in a follow-up Instagram Story Q&A when asked how their marriage had shifted since Harper’s arrival. “Sometimes you just feel like teammates tagging each other in and out to get it all done.”
She continued, “You definitely have to make a concerted effort to spend time with each other and make it not all about the baby. But in doing so, you really do build this cool partnership with someone.”
Dorfman and Hart also hope to have more children — when the timing is right.

“We’ve always said we wanted three but going to take it one at a time,” the former reality TV star captioned a third slide in her Saturday Q&A session. “I want some time this year for us to be with just Harper and to recover, so maybe [we’ll] start trying at the end of this year or early 2026.”
Dorfman married Hart in 2023 after her previous reality TV journey. She first appeared on Juan Pablo Galavis’ season 18 of The Bachelor in 2014, later becoming the franchise lead herself. During The Bachelorette, Dorfman got engaged to Josh Murray before they split several months later.
