Couple Sues Luxury Resort Over Son's Preventable Death
20 Mar
Summary
- Brett Gardner's son died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Lawsuit alleges resort failed to meet basic safety standards.
- Other guests reportedly suffered injuries in same rooms.
Former New York Yankees athlete Brett Gardner and his wife, Jessica, have filed a lawsuit against the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort in Costa Rica. The legal action stems from the tragic and preventable death of their 14-year-old son, Miller, due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
The Gardners allege the resort failed to adhere to basic safety standards, which they believe directly caused their son's death. Court documents reveal that other guests had previously suffered injuries in the same hotel rooms.
This lawsuit, filed nearly one year after Miller's passing in March 2025, seeks damages for wrongful death, emotional distress, and other claims. The couple stated their hope is to raise awareness and advocate for change to prevent similar tragedies.
