In a chilling turn of events, the mysterious deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans, discovered frozen in their friend’s backyard in January, have been linked to a deadly combination of drugs.
Autopsy and toxicology reports unveiled a grim reality behind the tragic incident that shook the community earlier this year.
Initial findings revealed the presence of cocaine, THC, and an alarming three times the lethal dose of fentanyl in the systems of Ricky Johnson, Clayton McGeeney, and David Harrington.
The trio, who gathered to watch their beloved Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Miami Dolphins this past January, tragically succumbed to the lethal cocktail amidst freezing conditions.
Family members of the deceased expressed shock and anguish over the revelation.
“If there was a person that knew what was in whatever they consumed that night and didn’t warn anybody, they should be held accountable,” Harrington’s mother told Fox 4 Kansas City.
“That’s my fear, it won’t happen … It’s so hard not knowing anything – like not hearing anything.”
Kansas City police have been in contact with the families, confirming the preliminary toxicology results.
NewsNation’s national correspondent Alex Caprariello reported that the fentanyl levels found in the victims’ bodies were three times the lethal threshold, a disturbing detail reportedly corroborated by family members.
“A family member, who asked to remain anonymous, tells me cocaine, fentanyl, and THC showed up in the preliminary results,” Caprariello reported.
“The family source says level 10 fentanyl is enough to kill. The #KansasCity3 were at level 30.”
As grieving loved ones seek closure, suspicions loom over the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Jon Harrington, father of David Harrington, voiced skepticism regarding the innocence of Jordan Willis, the friend in whose backyard the tragic discovery was made.
“[Harrington’s mother] and I are both convinced that Jordan Willis played a part in this somehow,” the elder Harrington said. “We just haven’t figured out how yet … What else could it be? Perfectly healthy men don’t just drop off the face of the earth.”
“There were four of you in the house, and now three of them are dead, and you’re not. That doesn’t add up,” the father continued.
“I’m thinking that he, the three of them, learned something or saw something that they shouldn’t have seen, and he decided, ‘Well, I need to get rid of you now.’ Friends or not.”
Despite mounting suspicions, the Kansas City Police Department has emphasized that Willis is not a suspect and faces no criminal charges in connection to the tragic incident.
The perplexing case continues to unfold as authorities and family members desperately search for answers.
