“The purpose of the investigation is precisely to determine whether or not we are dealing with a possible homicide. For this reason, it is not possible for the moment to confirm or exclude that a crime has been committed,” said the spokesperson.
Miller has been tested for carboxyhemoglobin, a compound generated when carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in the blood. The test showed a saturation level of 64%. It is considered fatal when the saturation of carboxyhemoglobin exceeds 50%.
The Gardner family stayed at the Arenas del Mar hotel in Manuel Antonio.
