Questions are swirling over the mysterious deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans who ‘froze to death’ in a friend’s backyard after watching a playoff game.
David Harrington, Ricky Johnson and Clayton McGeeney visited an unnamed friend’s house on January 7 to watch the Chiefs’ playoff win against the Chargers, but never made it home.
When the fiancé of one of the men couldn’t get hold of him for two days, she broke into the home to discover one of their bodies on the back porch. After police were called, they quickly found the bodies of the other two men also in the backyard.
The homeowner claimed the three men froze to death, and investigators ruled out foul play as they declined to make any arrests.
Now, the loved ones of the men are speaking out to demand answers, as they insist the reported circumstances of the deaths simply don’t add up.
‘Nobody believes this story,’ said Harrington’s mother Jennifer Marquez. ‘None of his friends, none of the families, none of us believe it… Everybody is furious.’
The family of Johnson, a father-of-three, spoke with NewsNation this week, saying they have been left grief-stricken and confused at the sudden death of the ‘loving’ man.
‘It’s very hard holding up,’ said Johnson’s mother Norma. ‘Something is not right.’
She said the police are ‘not doing anything’ to solve the mystery of her son’s passing, and called for the owner of the home, who has not been publicly identified, to be ‘at least investigated.’
Although relatives of the men feel investigators haven’t given the case enough attention, the Kansas City Police Department previously said they are awaiting medical examiner’s results on a cause of death before moving forward.
The department did not immediately respond to a request for an update on the case.
Cops have also reportedly doubled down on their determination that no foul play was involved in the deaths, and say they are treating the case as a death investigation, not a homicide investigation.
