Chiefs Fan Jordan Willis Checks Into Rehab After Three Friends Found Dead

Jordan Willis, the man who hosted a watch party that turned deadly after three of his friends' bodies were discovered, has checked himself into rehab.

As previously reported, Willis invited his friends over to watch the January 7 Kansas City Chiefs game. Willis says after the game, he decided to go to bed, but claims he did not know if his friends left the house.

Two days later, on January 9, the bodies of Ricky Johnson, David Harrington, and Clayton McGeeney were discovered in the backyard of Jordan Willis‘s home.

According to Willis's attorney Andrew Talge, there was a fifth friend at the house, who has been identified as Alex Waemer-Lee, but he says he left the party around 11 p.m. while the other four -- Willis, Johnson, Harrington, and McGeeney -- were watching 'Jeopardy!'

Willis’s attorney also stated that his client fell asleep for two days and he “is unaware of how his friends died.”

Now, Willis has checked himself into rehab.

As the mysterious case continues to unfold, Jordan Willis has "recognized that he had a problem with addiction” and “he immediately checked himself into rehab after vacating his home and putting his things into storage.”

According to a source close to the family, Willis is “facing his addiction head-on and the death of his friends was an “enormous wakeup call," they told Fox News Digital.

Interestingly, the attorney didn't mention what types of drugs the group might have been using.

While the completion of an autopsy and the toxicology reports will answer more questions surrounding the deaths of Ricky Johnson, David Harrington, and Clayton McGeeney, a neighbor did state they saw two of the friends arriving at Willis’ house with two 30-packs of beer.

Waemer-Lee also reportedly texted other friends about drug use at Willis’ house during the watch party.

Dr. Caleb Alexander, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University, says it is “plausible” that drugs played a part in the deaths.

“It’s one thing for a person to tragically end up in a snowdrift after leaving a bar. But it’s a completely different story for three people to end up dead sitting on somebody’s back porch after a party,” Dr. Caleb Alexander told The Post.

Alexander, who specializes in drug use and safety, says the victims could have been “either intentionally or unintentionally” exposed to the possible drugs.

“It certainly could be consistent with opioids, benzodiazepines, antihistamines, barbiturates, muscle relaxants,” he said, adding, “There are dozens of potential prescription drugs that when combined with alcohol could cause a level of sedation that would lead to ultimately freezing to death.”

The bodies of Ricky Johnson, David Harrington, and Clayton McGeeney two days after the watch party when McGeeeney’s fiancée was worried that he never came home. She broke into Willis’ property and saw one of the bodies outside. Police then discovered the other two after arriving on the scene.

Illicit opioids such as fentanyl are also a possibility, as Dr. Alexander says, “That could account for three individuals rapidly losing consciousness and ultimately succumbing from the weather.”

Now that Jordan Willis has checked himself into rehab, it is being speculated that drugs did, in fact, play a part in the deaths of his friends, however, nothing will be confirmed until the autopsy and toxicology reports come back.

The Kansas City Police Department previously said that the case is “100% not being investigated as a homicide.”
