Kansas City, MO – A retired DEA official has indicated that criminal charges could potentially be filed in the tragic deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans, whose bodies were discovered at their friend’s residence, should their demise be linked to a fatal drug overdose and if the drugs can be traced back to a supplier.
The bodies of David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney were found in a backyard on January 9. Jordan Willis, an acquaintance of the deceased, purportedly greeted law enforcement at the door and asserted that he had been asleep for 48 hours.
In response to inquiries, John Picerno, the attorney representing Willis, did not provide a response. Picerno had previously issued a statement asserting that Willis was unaware of the circumstances surrounding his friends’ deaths. Reports have surfaced indicating that Willis, a notable HIV researcher, may have sought rehabilitation.
Recent statements from the families of the deceased have indicated that toxicology results revealed the presence of cocaine and fentanyl in their systems.
This revelation prompts the question of potential legal ramifications: if the official cause of death is determined to be a fentanyl overdose, could the individual who supplied the drugs face criminal charges? According to Derek Maltz, a retired DEA director of special operations, the situation may not lend itself to a straightforward answer.
