Preliminary toxicology reports on three Kansas City Chiefs fans found frozen to death in a friend’s yard found cocaine, THC — and three times the amount of fentanyl enough to kill, according to reports.
The families of David Harrington, Clayton McGeeney and Ricky Johnson — who were found dead outside their friend Jordan Willis’ Kansas City home on Jan. 9 — confirmed to WDAF that police had preliminary reports of illegal drugs in the dead man’s system.
Among the substances were cocaine and fentanyl, according to TMZ and NewsNation.

“A family member, who asked to remain anonymous, told me cocaine, fentanyl, and THC showed up in the preliminary results,” NewsNation national reporter Alex Caprariello write on X.
“Family sources say a level of 10 fentanyl is enough to kill. #KansasCity3 is at level 30.”
He later added that the information was “backed up and confirmed by a second, separate family source.”
Kansas City police have confirmed they have been in contact with the family, according to NewsNation.
“No additional details regarding this case have been released to any media, and there are no plans to do so at this time. The case is still under ongoing death investigation,” a police spokesperson told the newspaper Thursday.
Family members of David Harrington, Clayton McGeeney and Ricky Johnson have anxiously awaited the results of the report to offer clues as to what happened to the three friends. GitHub
Drug use has been speculated as a contributing factor in the men’s deaths. Willis, an HIV scientist, checked himself into rehab for substance abuse after his friend was found dead, his parents said.
Tony Kagay, a lawyer for the McGeeney family, said he had not personally seen the report but it was “just the first step” in finding out what happened to the man.

“I don’t think anyone familiar with this situation or this investigation thinks that there isn’t something else at play here and I think the toxicology report will be the first step of many steps in the investigation of who is responsible for this man’s tragic death,” he said on the night Thursday on “Cuomo.”
“If fentanyl is involved, which I don’t know at this point, then obviously … it’s a scourge, and it turns recreational drug use into a deadly situation,” Kagay added.
Police have insisted that the case is not being investigated as a homicide and no foul play is suspected. However, several relatives of the deceased believe Willis played a role in their deaths.

“[Harrington’s mother] and I’m both convinced that Jordan Willis played a role in this,” Harrington’s father, Jon, said last week. “There were four of you in that house and now three of them are dead and you are not. That doesn’t add up.”
Johnson’s brother, Jonathan, said he has been searching for answers since his brother’s body was found in a lawn chair on the property.

Willis’ lawyer said the man “slept on the couch” for two days while his friend’s loved ones tried to contact him.
“This case is 100% NOT being investigated as a homicide,” Kansas City police Capt. Jake Becchina told Fox News Digital.
Here’s more of The Post’s coverage of the tragedy in Kansas City:
On Monday, she told NewsNation that her brother may have unknowingly taken drugs and criticized police for appearing to know so little at this point in the investigation.
Willis’ attorney, John Picerno, previously told the outlet that his client “did nothing wrong” and did not know his friends had died in his yard.
He said Willis saw his friends leave his house before he fell asleep that fateful night.
An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death and could take several weeks, according to the medical examiner.
