The parents of one of three Kansas City Chiefs fans found frozen to death outside their friend’s house believe their son’s death may have been more malicious than officials are letting on.
David Harrington, 37, was found dead outside his friend Jordan Willis’ home on January 9 — two days after he went with friends to watch the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers for their final regular season game.
The bodies of Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, were also found at the scene.
Willis didn’t know the man was outside, according to his attorney, John Picerno.
He had slept for almost 48 hours after the game and only found out that the body was there when the police visited the house for a welfare check.
As the victims’ families anxiously await the results of their toxicology reports into the mysterious death, Harrington’s father, Jon Harington, said he “doesn’t buy” Willis’ version of what happened.
“[Harrington’s mother] and I’m equally convinced that Jordan Willis played a role in this,” Jon Harrington told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
“We still don’t know how. … What else could happen? A perfectly healthy man doesn’t just fall off the face of the earth.”

“There were four of you in that house and now three of them are dead and you are not. That doesn’t add up,” the father continued.
“I think he, the three of them learned something or saw something they shouldn’t have seen, and he decided, ‘Okay, I’ve got to get rid of you now.’ Friend or not.”
Jon Harrington said he has spoken with the Platte County Prosecutor’s Office, which is investigating the case, but is confident that officials will rule out the death as nothing more than a drug overdose.
“But I don’t think it’s that simple,” he told the outlet.

“I realize they may have done some questionable stuff — but the idea was to get high, not die … If they’re supposed to be friends, why not [Willis] come find them. I’m sure they have a hundred different answers to that, but that’s my question.”
Harrington’s mother, Jennifer Marquez, admitted that although her son smoked cigarettes and drank beer with his friends, she did not believe he would overdose on drugs.
“Yes, I believe something happened that night and Jordan had something to do with it,” Marquez told Fox.
“We all believe that Jordan had something to do with that.”
He pointed out how Willis claimed he didn’t leave his house for two days, giving him enough time to “get away and clean up the evidence.”

He is also upset that he has not been forced to take any drug or alcohol tests since the body was found.
“Jordan is not telling the truth,” insisted Marquez.
“When you speak the truth, your story is solid. When you lie, your story changes, and that’s what has happened. I don’t understand why the police didn’t see that.”
Kansas City police have insisted that Willis is not suspected of any wrongdoing and that the death is not being investigated as a homicide.

A fifth friend who was at the gathering has also come forward and said that when he left the Willis home around midnight Sunday, all four were still alive and watching “Jeopardy!”
Police confirmed that Willis allowed officers to search his home.
Picerno said Willis has since moved out of the rental home for fear of “retaliation.”
Willis, who holds a PhD, is a senior principal scientist at the IAVI Neutralizing Antibody Center’s Schief Laboratory in Kansas City, according to the nonprofit’s website, Fox News reported.
