After officers ruled that 14 years old Miller Gardner He died of carbon monoxide poisoning, analyzed a forensic pathologist why his family did not suffer the same fate.
Miller, son of former New York Yankees player Brett Gardner. He died on March 21 while watching at Costa Rican destination with his family, including his father, mother Jessica and an older brother, Hunter.
“Various factors can affect the sensitive of a person to carbon monoxide in a room,” Makelgas-SanitarianProfessor at Costa Rica University, said only Weekly US On Thursday, April 3. “For example, carbon monoxide is a gas that is thought to be denser than air, so it tends to accumulate in the lower parts of a room. So, for example, if people stand and others lie down in the same room, the gas will reach the person closer to the floor first.” The one who is soon affected will be affected or soon affected. “
Vargas-sanabria, not directly related to the case, used bunk beds as a theoretical example, saying “The person on the bottom bunk would be revealed before the one at the top.”
It is unclear how many rooms the Gardner family had or what their sleeping arrangements were.
“There are also factors specific to every individual who can play a role,” added Vargas-Sanabria. “For example, if someone has anemia – which means less hemoglobin in the blood, fewer red blood cells, et cetera – that person will be faster or serious than someone with normal hemoglobin levels. Logically, a person with a smaller amount needs less hemoglobin than hemoglobin.”
Miller was found dead in his room at Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort the morning after all his family members became violently ill with “serious” symptoms.
It is unknown whether the symptoms were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, but Vargas-Sanabria said it was possible.
“If carbon monoxide concentrations are low, a person could experience symptoms that will not kill them but will make them feel sick,” the doctor noted. “Like headaches, dizziness, sleepiness, general discomfort.”
Vargas-Sanabria explained that Miller could have had a greater impact on the carbon monoxide because of how long it stayed in the room, which was next to a mechanical room at the destination.
“If they were present during a climax in carbon monoxide emissions – let’s say that the machine room is next door, and the equipment happened to be running harder than usual – then more combustion would occur,” he said “if that combustion was incomplete and there was a leak into the room, the person could suffer acute poison there and there.”
According to Vargas-Sanabria, the location of a Miller-edge room could have played a big role in the tragedy.
A hotel owner from the same tourism region was found where 14 -year -old Miller Gardner was found dead having explained how her business has already been affected in the tragic outcome. Lamia Funti, who owns Casa Lamia Restaurant & Lodge in the Manuel Antonio Costa Rica region, said only by us Weekly how attitudes have changed since Miller, son (……)
He said, “It makes much more sense that if there was a leak, the carbon monoxide could have entered his room and filled it completely, causing his death.”
Judicial Investigating Agency Costa Rican (OIJ) Miller’s death was confirmed on Wednesday in a statement to Weekly USNoting that there is a “very specific layer” on Miller organs that form when “a person dies from carbon monoxide poisoning or gas inhalation.”
“In the Carboxyhemoglobin test, a saturation level of 64 percent was discovered,” Director General OIJ Randall zúñiga he said. “In such cases, when concentrations exceed 50 percent of garboxyhemoglobin, it is considered fatal. In this particular case, with a saturation of 64 percent, the level is clearly well above that fatal threshold.”
He continued, “Therefore, this confirms the police presumption that the death was caused by exposure to toxic gases, specifically carbon monoxide. With this, the case is closed in practice. The only remaining step is for the OIJ Department of forensic Sciences Report to be forwarded to the Legal Medication Department, so the Autove department can.”
