Illegal drugs reportedly were found in toxicology tests on the three Kansas City Chiefs fans who were found frozen to death outside a friend’s home last month, according to Fox 4 KC.
Family members of David Harrington, Clayton McGeeney and Ricky Johnson had been anxiously awaiting the results of the report to offer clues as to what happened to the three friends before they were discovered outside Jordan Willis’ Kansas City rental home on Jan. 9.
Drug use has been speculated as a contributing factor in their deaths.
Willis checked himself into rehab for substance abuse after his three friends were found dead, according to his parents.
Harrington, 37, McGeeney, 36, and Johnson, 38, went to his home to watch the Kansas City Chiefs’ final regular season game on Jan. 7.
Their bodies were found two days later when McGeeney’s worried fiancée broke into Willis’ property and saw one of them frozen in the yard.
Willis — who was wearing underwear and holding a wine glass when police arrived — told officers that he had no idea his friends were dead outside and claimed to have been asleep for nearly two days.
A fifth friend, Alex Waemer-Lee, left the gathering around 11 p.m. after the game while the four remaining men were watching “Jeopardy!,” according to his attorney, Andrew Talge.
Experts told Fox News that alcohol or drugs could have caused the men to pass out in the snow and succumb to the 30-degree weather.
Neighbors said two of the men who arrived at the small party walked in with two 30-packs of beer, according to the outlet.
Waemer-Lee also allegedly texted other friends about drug use at Willis’ house during the game, Fox reported.
