Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs who were discovered frozen to death received a toxicology report.
The early toxicology results for the three Kansas City men who were discovered dead in the snow two days after a game day gathering have been made public, a family member confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Family relatives of Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington told FOX 4 they were informed that the report had been received by the police. On Thursday night, Harrington’s father gave Fox News Digital confirmation of the release.
“At this time, there are no plans to reveal any additional details of this case or reports to the media,” Kansas City Police Department Captain Jacob Becchina stated to Fox News Digital on Thursday night. “A death investigation is still being conducted in this matter. The families of the deceased males have been contacted by KCPD Detectives and the Platte County Prosecutors Office, and they will continue to be contacted as the investigation progresses.”
“Any records associated with the case, to include any toxicology reports or Medical examiner reports would remain a closed record at this time until the investigation is concluded,” Becchina stated.
On January 9, 2024, Ricky Johnson, Clayton McGeeney, and David Harrington were discovered dead outside the Kansas City residence of their friend.
If any substances, including alcohol and narcotics, were detected in the three men’s systems at the time of their deaths, it will be determined by the toxicology report.
Dr. Michael Baden, a forensic pathologist, informed Fox News Digital that it is customary for families to be informed of toxicology results before to their public publication and that the information was most likely leaked to the families by a police or justice department source.

Two days after attending a Kansas City Chiefs watch party at the house, on January 9, 2024, the remains of Willis’ three friends, Ricky Johnson, Clayton McGeeney, and David Harrington, were discovered in the backyard, with one body discovered on the porch.
But he added that just because these medicines were in the men’s systems doesn’t indicate that’s why they died.
“The question now is whether they died of an overdose or hypothermia – you can’t tell from the [released information] what the units are,” Baden stated on Thursday night. “It indicates they took the drugs [and] indicates that they didn’t die of just being in the snow – they [likely] died after taking drugs and a low level of drugs that makes them high, one normally sleeps off.”
