Mystery continues to surround the death of the teenage son of New York Yankees champion Brett Gardner who died last week in a luxury Costa Rican Resort.
Miller Gardner, 14, is supposed to have died by Asphyxia 'after a possible intoxication' of taking polluted food, local officials told NBC News.
The teenager was found tragically on Friday morning in his room in the resort of Arenas del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest, in Manuel Antonio.
Other members of his family had also fallen ill during the trip, Brett Gardner and his wife Jessica shared in the announcement of the death of their son, which they added to have left 'so many questions'.
An autopsy and a toxicological report for the young Gardner are being treated and it can take a few weeks before his cause of death is officially confirmed.
A spokesperson for the Arenas del Mar Resort told DailyMail.com that the hotel fully cooperates with the study and is determined that it also comes to the bottom of what this tragedy has caused.

Reinforcement occurs when a person is unable to get enough oxygen in his body, which can faint and cause death.
Common causes include allergies, drowning or airway blockade due to food or vomit, and typical symptoms include breaths, loss of consciousness and the inability to speak.
Food poisoning – or food poisoning – can often lead to suffocation, especially if a patient sleeps.
Food differences usually occurs when someone uses food that is contaminated with bacteria, fungi, parasites or other dangerous toxins.
Symptoms depend on the cause, but usually include vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain and fever. In extreme cases, muscle paralysis can also occur.
In their preliminary findings, the authorities believe that intoxication of food may have led Miller Gardner to choke his vomit after he had eaten something during the journey.
However, food differences can cause the death of infection itself, especially if the person has a weakened immune system.
The Bacteria Listeria Monocytogenes is considered the most deadly disease -carried out of food.
It is unclear how many people die per year due to suffocation caused by food intoxication.
Although, about 5,000 Americans die every year due to stitching and food is the main cause of stifling deaths, especially in children and older adults, according to the National Safety Council.
In the meantime, about 3,000 Americans die annually from food -handed diseases, including infections and intoxications, according to the CDC.
Food poisoning can cause indirect suffocation, but it is not considered a common direct cause of suffocating deaths. Most deaths due to food poisoning are caused by organ failure, dehydration or neurotoxic effects instead of blockage for respiratory tract.

The resort in Costa Rica insists that 'only the best ends on your plate' when it comes to their food
It is still to be seen what Miller Gardner's death has activated.
His destroyed family told Costa Rican officials that they believe they have suffered food poisoning.
It is not known what the boy ate before his death or how long his family had shown symptoms of food poisoning before the tragic discovery was made.
Common sources of food differences are often caused because food is treated, stored or omitted for too long.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Arenas del Mar Resort said: 'We are deeply saddened by this loss and our hearts go to the family during this incredibly difficult time.
'The factors that have led to this tragic incident are unknown and we work completely with authorities while investigating.
“We are committed to supporting our guests and staff, giving priority to their well -being and safety, with respect for the privacy of the affected ones.”
According to its website, the Resort offers experts of naturalistic guides and a 'stimulating, colorful and exciting' food menu.
'Only the best ends on your plate', reads a passage on his website and adds that guests will eat 'Only the freshest ingredients' during their stay in the two restaurants, the Playitas beach restaurant and Mirador Oceanview Restaurant.
Moreover, the luxury hotel offers what it calls a 'dock to dish' program for the fish it serves to guests.

“Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones during this difficult time, we currently have no further comment.”
