Back in January of 2024, three Kansas City Chiefs fans were found dead in their friend’s backyard. It wasn’t until over a year later that authorities revealed the cause of death.

Clayton McGeeney, David Harrington and Ricky Johnson showed up to Jordan Willis’ house to watch the final game of the 2023 regular season between the Chiefs and the Chargers. When authorities searched Willis’ house, they found a plastic bag containing cocaine. They also found a bag that contained fentanyl.

The medical examiner determined that McGeeney, Harrington and Johnson died from the toxic combination of fentanyl and cocaine.

According to reports, Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson have been arrested for their alleged roles in this situation.

Per TMZ:

Officials in Platte County, Missouri announced this week that Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson have been hit with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivery of a controlled substance … after investigators say the two contributed to the deaths of Clayton McGeeney, David Harrington and Ricky Johnson back in January 2024.

Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd plans on holding Willis and Carson accountable.

“This case is a tragic reminder of the dangers of street drugs,” Zahnd said. “But make no mistake, the people who supply those drugs can and will be held accountable when people overdose.”

With that said, Willis and Carson’s mugshots were released on social media this week.

Willis’ attorney, Picerno, spoke to KCTV about this legal situation.

“The probable cause statement submitted by the state is consistent with what Jordan stated happened,” Picerno said. “Jordan maintains that he is not responsible for purchasing or supplying the drugs that led to the deaths of his three friends. We are very much looking forward to the day a jury gets to hear all of the evidence in this case.”

Authorities Reveal Cause Of Death In Case Of Chiefs’ Frozen Fans

Two men have been arrested and the cause of death released in the strange incident involving three Kansas City Chiefs fans found frozen in a backyard in January 2024.

At a press conference this week, Platte County prosecutor Eric Zahnd said that a forensic exam determined David Harrington, 37, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and Ricky Johnson, 38, “all died of Fentanyl and cocaine combined toxicity.”

He also announced that two suspects in the case have been taken into custody. Jordan Willis is accused of supplying the drugs that led to the trio’s death. He and Ivory Carson are both charged with “distribution of a controlled substance and three counts of involuntary manslaughter.” They are being held on $100,000 cash bond, with a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison on each count.

The men were visiting Willis’ rental home in Kansas City to watch the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers on Jan. 7, 2024. Two days later, the trio was found dead in the backyard. Throughout the investigation, police repeatedly said “no foul play” had been “observed or suspected.” Early toxicology reports reportedly indicated the men had cocaine and fentanyl in their systems.

The Chiefs beat the Chargers, 13-12, in the regular-season finale on their way to winning Super Bowl LVIII

Zahnd said this week, however, that while searching Willis’ home police found two plastic bags containing “white powdery substances.” After being tested, one of the bags came back positive for cocaine. One witness claimed to prosecutors that he was with the three friends at Willis’ rental home “where they drank, smoked marijuana and used cocaine.”

After his client’s arrest, Willis’ attorney John Picerno maintains his innocence.

“Jordan maintains that he is not responsible for purchasing or supplying the drugs that led to the deaths of his three friends,” the lawyer said. “We are very much looking forward to the day a jury gets to hear all of the evidence in this case.”
