Summary
Brett Gardner, former New York Yankees star, and his family filed a lawsuit against the hotel where his 14-year-old son, Miller, died of carbon monoxide poisoning in Costa Rica. The lawsuit alleges that the hotel’s mechanical room and devices did not comply with safety standards, leading to increased carbon monoxide levels. The family is seeking damages for gross negligence, wrongful death, and other causes of action.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Gardner’s family suffered a violent illness overnight, with severe symptoms ranging from vomiting and paralysis to hallucinations and a cut to the head.
The resort should have known the dangers posed to the family, but neither the mechanical room nor the guest rooms contained carbon monoxide monitors.
Miller’s carboxyhemoglobin saturation level was 64%, considered lethal when exceeding 50%.
This one feels recognizable early.
This tragedy could have been prevented if the resort had exercised the required duty of care to safeguard against carbon monoxide poisoning.
