Miller Gardner, the youngest son of Brett Gardner, died on Friday at the age of 14, the family announced through the Yankees on Sunday.

In a statement from the former Yankees outfielder and his wife Jessica, the Gardners said Miller fell ill “along with several other family members while on vacation.”

“We have so many questions and so few answers at this point, but we do know that he passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Friday, March 21st,” the Gardners said in the statement.

Heartbreaking.

...the Gardners said Miller fell ill “along with several other family members while on vacation.”

I suspect where they vacationed had something to do with it, but the article does not say, which is curious all by itself.

The couple, who share an older son, Hunter Gardner, did not disclose further details about their trip or the illness Miller contracted.

What country?

No mention of that in the article.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Sometimes when someone dies of an overdose or suicide, the newspaper will print "after a short illness".

But they don’t say that in conjunction with several other members getting sick at the same time.

I’m leaning towards food poisoning.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yes, that makes sense. Something like listeria.

Only 14 years old... This is heartbreaking. So sorry for Miller and his family...
