The initial findings from the agency regarding the circumstances surrounding Miller’s death have raised numerous questions, particularly concerning their initial assessment followed by subsequent revisions. How did they arrive at those preliminary conclusions only to later retract them?
In an interview with the Daily Mail on March 26, Alvarado Garcia elaborated on the scene investigators encountered. “Upon arrival, our agents discovered the body exhibiting signs of vomit in both the mouth and nasal passages,” he stated. “This led to an initial report suggesting possible asphyxiation caused by the vomit. We based our assessment on the fact that the family had dined outdoors at their hotel the previous night and experienced illness upon their return. However, following a more thorough autopsy examination, the doctor found no irregularities within the respiratory tract.” This shift in findings emphasizes the complexities involved in determining the cause of death.
The Gardners are left waiting for clarity regarding the unfortunate passing of their son, Miller. It appears that the investigation process is fraught with delays, particularly in light of the current surge in homicides attributed to territorial disputes among drug gangs. “We are experiencing a significant uptick in violent crime, and every case requires an autopsy,” Alvarado Garcia noted to the outlet. “I can confirm that Miller underwent an autopsy, but the complete analysis and results will take a minimum of two to three months due to the overwhelming number of cases currently backlogged. This is a harsh reality we are facing.”
In the meantime, the Gardners, along with the broader sports community, are committed to celebrating Miller’s enduring legacy. Notably, the New York Yankees honored him during their Opening Day ceremony on March 27, a poignant tribute to his memory.
As expressed in their statement released on March 23, Miller’s parents shared, “He was a cherished son and brother, and we are struggling to comprehend a life without his radiant smile. Miller had a passion for football, baseball, golf, hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family and friends. He embraced each day with enthusiasm and joy.” Their heartfelt words reflect the profound loss felt by those who knew him.
