A new name has arisen in the case of three Kansas City Chiefs fans who died earlier this month.
Alex Weamer-Lee, a friend of the victims, had joined them for a watch party, according to the Daily Mail. That makes five people who attended the event, three of whom later died.
According to the New York Post, Andrew Talge, Weamer-Lee’s attorney, his client was at the party on Jan. 7 that ended up in death, but left at about midnight, and said that when he left the four other men at the party were watching “Jeopardy!”
This is how the case unfolded. On Jan. 7, David Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, visited Jordan Willis’ home in the northen part of Kansas City to watch a game between the Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, WDAF-TV reported.
On the night of Jan. 9, the men were all found dead on Willis’ property by the Kansas City Police Department. One of the men was dead on the back porch, while the other two were found in the backyard, WDAF reported.
Police said at the time that there were no obvious signs of foul play, and a member of one of the dead men’s families said Willis had claimed they “froze to death.”
Willis reportedly said his friends were at his home as he had gone to bed and had invited them to stay over as long as they wished, the outlet reported. However, an attorney for Willis first said his client watched his friends leave and then later said his client was asleep while the men continued to party at the house.
He said he spent the following two days with “no knowledge” that his friends were dead on his property, according to the New York Post.
Jonathan Price, brother of victim Ricky Johnson, told “Fox & Friends” Thursday that he has questions about Willis’ story.
“There’s way too many questions still needing to be answered, and nobody can answer those questions,” Price said. “And honestly, except for Jordan … the fifth person, he was there, but he wasn’t there after a certain time frame.”
Jon Harrington, whose son was a victim, is flat-out skeptical and said he is “not buying” Willis’ story, according to Fox News, saying his son’s mother and he “are both convinced that Jordan Willis played a part in this somehow.”
“We just haven’t figured out how yet. … What else could it be? Perfectly healthy men don’t just drop off the face of the Earth,” he said.
“There were four of you in the house and now three of them are dead and you’re not. That doesn’t add up,” he said. “I’m thinking that he, the three of them learned something or saw something that they shouldn’t have seen, and he decided ‘well, I need to get rid of you now.’ Friends or not.”
Jordan Willis’ father pushed back, according to the New York Post.
“He would never in a million years do anything,” Willis’ father said.
“These were all good friends of his, these were all people he went to school with and he took them to a football game the day before for the Chiefs,” he said.
I’m thinking this was something they did every weekend, so they knew they were ingesting drugs. It’s just worked out the previous couple hundred times and failed this time.
Note to self: Only get totally faced and pass out in somebody’s back yard during warm weather.
Illegal drugs were most likely used. The homeowner knows he’s in big trouble. Time to lawyer up!
Actually no, it wasn’t during the arctic blast temperatures. When this happened it was in the 30s. Cold though not freeze yer face off cold.
The autopsies will reveal much.
Drug overdose? Food poisoning?
I get that the families are upset, but they should not be accusing anyone of murder until all the evidence has been gathered.
Yeah, that or a drinking contest, but seems like a drug is more likely. The survivor knows, they will break him after they get the tox report.
“her biscuits ain’t done on the inside”
that is a new one to me.
Yep, which means it will all come out.
Their cars were still there, if they were locked out of the house, as the cold got unbearable, wouldn’t at least one of them have gone to the car or a neighbor for help. Maybe even broken a window.
Probably twice once to get them outside.
The toxicology report should reveal a lot.
Law enforcement can go from there.
Food poisoning they probably would have puked before dying.
Autopsy toxicology will reveal alcohol / drug levels.
Bingo! And the alcohol just hastened the freezing.
Almost had to be. IF there were ONE undrugged person there they would have saved the rest. And it's hard to freeze to death even when you're blotto drunk. And impossible to sleep for two days.
Healthy men who had pants and jackets on, should not die of exposure so quickly, I would not think, unless they somehow got soaked.
It would be nice to know what they were wearing.
Clothes make a huge difference in such situations.
“Drugged unknowingly” is a sad lament of little solace. When a person voluntarily drugs or drinks, they and they alone are responsible for the outcome. Neither the host or even the drug dealer are really responsible.
I’ll wait till the movie comes out on this one.
I have read of a fair number of people freezing to death because they stumbled around outside until they fell down and passed out drunk. All the cases I recall were in much colder temperatures, or significant wind, often a fair amount of snow or falling through ice into cold water.
Looks like what’s needed is for Jodie Foster to swoop in and solve this mystery. It sounds about as unlikely as her latest video gig plot. Thus proving, perhaps, that truth is stranger (or as strange) as fiction?
