Doctors tried for 30 minutes to revive the son of former New York Yankee Brett Gardner but weren’t able to save the teen. Miller Gardner, 14, died in his sleep Friday during a family vacation at a luxury resort in Costa Rica. He was unresponsive when doctors arrived Friday morning, the director of a local urgent care clinic told the New York Post. The medics performed CPR for half an hour but couldn’t bring back his vitals. The Gardner family had gotten sick after dinner the night before and was treated for vomiting, but the doctors who responded the next morning were baffled by Miller Gardner’s death. Investigators have ruled out death from asphyxiation—or choking—and now officials are trying to determine whether he had an allergic reaction either to something he ate or to the medication he was given for food poisoning. Either scenario would be extremely unusual, according to the doctors who tried to save him. Usually, patients with food allergies have an immediate reaction, and allergic reactions to gastrointestinal medications—which are usually over the counter—are very rare.
