Three fans of Chiefs of Kansas City found frozen in the backyard of their friend died of fentanyl and cocaine -toxicity, the police confirmed on Wednesday – while the deep -driven mother of a victim broke her silence.
David Harrington, 37, was found dead in the backyard of his friend – scientist Jordan Willis – next to Pals Clayton McGeeny, 36, and Ricky Johnson, 38, on January 9, 2024.
The three fans had gone to Willis's house to watch The last Kansas City Chiefs match of the regular season – and was only discovered two days later.
The circumstances surrounding their death let friends and family look for answers for more than a year, because Willis denied any responsibility.
Willis, an HIV investigator, claimed that he did not see or heard SMS messages on his phone at the door because he had headphones.
But the authorities have now announced that Willis, 39, and another man, Ivory J. Carson, 42, have been charged with the three dead.
A toxicological report eventually found that the three men had cocaine, THC and Fentanyl in their systems and on Wednesday evening the police stated that they died of 'fentanyl and cocaine -toxicity'.
Willis and Carson are confronted with accusations of involuntary manslaughter and delivery of a regulated substance except 25 grams or less or marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid and can spend 10 years behind the bars if they were convicted.
Harrington's mother Theresa demands answers from the Kansas City police since the lifeless body of her son was discovered – and was shocked to learn from the arrests As she thought the research was long gone.
Theresa told DailyMail.com that she was 'surprised' in the development and added: “I thought the research was over.”

Theresa Harrington (depicted with her husband Jon) told DailyMail.com that she was 'surprised' by the announcement on Wednesday, because she thought the investigation was long gone
“They would not tell me anything,” she said about Kansas City's police.
“The police always said they didn't investigate it as a murder.”
Theresa said that the police statements “made it easy to think that they had already made a decision and that there would be no further investigation.”
“You know, this will not be tried for a year and a half,” she complained.
Although they have finally received a form of justice that they have long wanted, Theresa says that the arrests still do not fill all the gaps.
'[I] Know nothing about how my son died or his last moments, “she explained.
Theresa had previously claimed that her son had to be packed with the drugs that cost his life while she insisted on an investigation.
Theresa and her husband Jon spoke last year with Chris Cuomo of News Nation.
“The point is that he did not hire that to die … It just means that the story is more, there is more going on than just that,” she said at the time. “He didn't take that to die. If he used the drugs himself, he took them to become high. '
Willis had said that he went to bed in the early morning hours of January 8 and did not know that his friends were still in the back garden.
The HIV researcher claimed that he saw none of the many messages of the loved ones of his friends until the police appeared in his house the next day because he was sleeping with headphones.
The couple had previously argued that their son had to be stabbed with the drugs
Despite the news on Wednesday, Theresa said she still has more questions, and notes that she still doesn't know “something about how my son died or his last moments”
Jon told DailyMail.com earlier that he did not believe that Willis claims that he could not hear the family members banging on his door.
“I don't buy all those C ** P over the headphones,” he said.
'There were four in the house just before 2 a.m. Three his death, he's not. And for me that is suspicious, “he said.
In the meantime, Rick Johnson, the father of Ricky Johnson, told Fox 4 KC that he is happy with the office of the flat County Procutor and the police of Kansas City Missouri for submitting charges.
“It's a long time ago,” he noticed, promising, “I will be on every court date.”
Prosecutors claim Carson – who has done the nickname 'Blade Brown' – Cocaine delivered and sold to Willis and the victims and noted that his DNA was later found on a bag of Fentanyl in Willis's house.

Officers too Speaked with a witness who told the researchers that he had been to Harrington's house earlier in the night and saw a plate of cocaine reported by Willis that everyone used, “said Plte County officer of Justice Eric Zahnd at a news conference on Wednesday.
Another witness reportedly told the police that he was at Willis, McGeeney, Harrington and Johnson in Willis 'at home after the game of the Chiefs' where they drank, marijuana smoked and used cocaine. '
That witness said Harrington, McGeeney and Jonson were still alive from 1.30 am, while according to KSN Willis had gone to bed.
But almost two days later, friends and relatives said they didn't hear from Harrington, Johnson and McGeeney when they repeatedly had a message on social media that beg for answers.
By January 9, McGeeney's fiancé decided to break into the basement of Willis when the scientist did not answer the front door.
She called the police when she saw Harrington's body on Willis' rear portics. Officers then found the other two corpses.

Jonathan Price, Johnson's brother, later said that the case was wrong.
He said he heard that the owner of the house had animals who had to go outside, and claimed that the city did not get enough snow to immerse the men so that they were hidden for days.
“There are many different things that don't rise, we just don't understand how someone would at least be investigated in any way,” said Price.
In the midst of the suspicion, Willis moved from his house in Kansas City and registered for a rehabilitation program – which only led to further speculation that he might have hidden something.
“We are meant to think that the poor guy has lost his friends,” Clayton's Uncle Jim told DailYmail.com earlier. 'Well, that poor guy should fight against tooth and nail to find some answers instead of leaving his house two days after the bodies were found.
“It's just a cover to make people feel bad for him and get people from his case,” he claimed.
Judicial documents now say that Willis told the police that the men had drunk Marijuana and smoke in his house, and at one point he thought they might also have obtained some fentanyl.

The police then found SMS messages about Harrington's phone between the suspects, McGeeney, Johnson and others that they said they proved that Carson delivered them from cocaine.
These messages are said to have reportedly confirmed the bill of one witness that if the group had little cash, McGeeney, Harrington and Johnson would deliver them cocaine, according to judicial documents obtained by the Kansas City star.
Carson finally admitted that he had sold cocaine through the gram to the trio in police interviews in July 2024 and only last month, say judicial documents.
“This case is a tragic memory of the dangers of street drugs,” Zahnd said at the press conference.
“But make no mistake, the people who deliver those drugs can and will be held responsible if people can and will be an overdose of overdose.”
Carson is now being held in prison on a cash bond of $ 100,000, while the police say that Willis will surrender to the authorities and will post his $ 100,000 cash bond, according to KSN.
Willis' in Kansas City established lawyer John Picerno emphasized that his client was innocent on Wednesday evening.
“Jordan claims that he is not responsible for buying or delivering the drugs that led to the death of his three friends,” said Picerno.
Dailymail.com has contacted Willis's lawyer and the police of Kansas City Missouri for more information. It is unclear whether Carson has retained a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.
