A fifth man who attended a Kansas City Chiefs viewing party and left before his three friends were later found frozen to death in the host’s backyard has been identified in a new report as Alex Weamer-Lee.
Weamer-Lee went to high school with David Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, whose bodies were found outside Jordan Willis’ rental home in Kansas City on Jan. 9 — two days after all five of his friends were there to watching football, the DailyMail reported on Friday.
It was previously reported that Weamer-Lee, according to her attorney Andrew Talge, arrived at Willis’ home at about 7 p.m. Jan. 7 and left around midnight while the other four men stayed up and watched “Jeopardy!”
Weamer-Lee did not respond to a request for comment by The Post.
Police found the bodies of Harrington, Johnson and McGenney in the yard of Willis’ rental home two days later during a welfare check after several calls and texts to their phones went unanswered.
Willis also could not be reached. His lawyer said he had been “sleeping on the couch” next to a loud fan while wearing noise-canceling headphones for nearly two days.

The case is not being investigated as a homicide and police have firmly stated that foul play is not suspected.
Weamer-Lee was childhood friends with the three men who were found dead and Willis from their days at Park Hill High School, according to the DailyMail.
Pictures on social media showed Weamer-Lee and his friends wearing Kansas City Chiefs jerseys with big smiles on their faces.

According to his attorney, Lee received texts from McGeeney’s fiancee and from Johnson’s mother, both asking about their loved ones.
Lee sent messages to Willis and Johnson, but received no reply from either.
Lee’s attorney’s version of events contradicts several statements made by Willis’ attorney, John Picerno, including that Willis saw his four friends go out around 2 a.m. and then fell asleep on his couch.

It also contradicts Picerno’s claim that Willis did not receive any texts, only messages via Facebook Messenger.
A message for Talge was not immediately returned.
Loved ones of the victims have publicly pointed the finger at Willis, with Harrington’s father saying he “doesn’t buy” HIV research scientists’ version of what happened.
The Willis family stood behind him, however, insisting that he was grieving the loss of his friends in the strange case.
“He would never do anything in a million years,” father Jordan Willis told The Post Thursday.
“These are all his best friends, these are all people he goes to school with and he brought them to the football game the day before for the Chiefs.”
