Breaking News: The Kansas City Chiefs fans passed away from a deadly sickness they contracted.
The parents of one of the deceased Kansas City Chiefs fans, discovered in the backyard of an HIV scientist, expressed skepticism regarding the mysterious death and toxicology reports during an appearance on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show.
David Harrington’s parents, Jon and Theresa Harrington, reacted to the toxicology findings indicating traces of cocaine, THC, and fentanyl in their son’s system, as reported by TMZ and NewsNation. A family member shared that the men had tested at Level 30 for fentanyl, three times the lethal amount.
Theresa Harrington, the grieving mother, emphasized that the presence of substances in their son’s system does not necessarily imply intent to die, stating, “What matters is that he didn’t take that to die… It just means that there’s more to the story, there’s more to it than just that.
He didn’t take that to die. If he took the drugs on his own, he took them to get high.” Jon Harrington, on his part, asserted that the toxicology reports do not provide a complete explanation for the tragedy, suggesting that someone might have supplied substances that led to their deaths, stating, “Somebody gave them something that would kill them.”
Theresa added that the ongoing police investigation has not provided conclusive answers, and there seems to be uncertainty about the details. Despite the skepticism raised by the parents, the police have consistently stated that they are not treating the deaths as homicides.
When questioned about whether he believed his son brought the drugs, Jon Harrington admitted he did not know but speculated that the substances might have been obtained at the location. The three men—Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36—were discovered deceased and frozen in Jordan Willis’ backyard in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 9.
Willis, an HIV scientist, checked into rehab after the incident, according to a friend, viewing the events as an “enormous, heartbreaking wake-up call.”
Realizing he had a problem with addiction after the deaths of his friends, Jordan Willis, the HIV scientist, took immediate action to seek professional help, as shared by an insider with Fox News.
Despite ongoing investigations, no arrests have been made, and the cause of death remains undisclosed as medical examiners await full results from pending toxicology reports. Detectives are scrutinizing the phones of the three deceased men, whose bodies were discovered nearly 48 hours after the football watch party on January 7.
Following police questioning, Willis, fearing retaliation, swiftly moved out of his residence within days and has not been seen since. Families of the victims attempted to contact him, visiting his home and sending messages, but received no response. Eventually, one of the men’s fiancées broke into the house, finding the first body in the backyard. Subsequently, the police arrived to discover Willis in his underwear, holding a wine glass. Willis asserted that he had not left his home for two days and was unaware of the frantic knocking from friends’ families, attributing it to his use of noise-cancelling headphones.
Taking the tragic events as a significant wake-up call, Willis acknowledged his addiction problem, prompting him to check into rehab immediately after vacating his home and placing his belongings in storage, according to a friend.
In response to concerns and inconsistencies in Willis’ account, such as a missing jacket on one of the bodies leaving his home in freezing weather, his father defended him, suggesting the possibility that the friends might have returned inside or left without coats. Willis maintains that he doesn’t know what happened to them and never saw them again after they appeared to be leaving his house.
