The cousin of Kansas City Chiefs fan Clayton McGeeney, who was found frozen to death along with fellow fans Ricky Johnson and David Harrington outside the home of watch party host Jordan Willis, said “we all know” what the toxicology report will reveal.
According to Caleb McGeeney, Jordan Willis, an HIV researcher, was known among their circle of friends as “the chemist.”
“Jordan’s the chemist,” Caleb told NewsNation. “They all knew him as that.”

“It was easy for them to go have fun … but he made a mistake,” Caleb explained. “Jordan was the chemist. He’s a scientist, right? He does what he needs to do.”
“Now to use my cousin, my best friend, as a guinea pig?” he added. “Nah.”
Willis didn’t just supply drugs to his friends, according to Caleb, he “created” them.
“Jordan is somebody that is known from high school as, like, creating drugs for people, to make them feel better in certain situations,” he said. “At this point, the country knows what’s gonna happen, what the toxicology report’s gonna reveal; we all know that.”
A preliminary toxicology report has been released.
“Family members of David Harrington, Clayton McGeeney and Ricky Johnson told FOX 4 that they learned police had received the report,” Fox News Digital reports. “Harrington’s father confirmed the release to Fox News Digital on Thursday night.”
However, don’t expect new details anytime soon.
“There have been no additional details of this case or reports revealed to any media, nor are there any plans to at this time,” Kansas City Police Department Captain Jacob Becchina told Fox News Digital. “The case remains an ongoing death investigation. Both KCPD Detectives and the Platte County Prosecutors Office have been in touch with the deceased men’s families and remain in contact with them as the investigation unfolds.”
“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,” the captain said.
The family members were likely notified of the results, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden told Fox.

The doctor noted that, even if drugs are found in the deceased men’s systems, it doesn’t necessarily mean they died of drug overdoses.
“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 said. “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.”
However, according to the Daily Mail, a lot of drugs were found in the toxicology report.
“Initial toxicology information on the three men suggest traces of cocaine, THC and fentanyl, according to TMZ and NewsNation,” the outlet reports. “A family member told one reporter the men tested Level 30 for fentanyl, triple the amount needed to kill them.”
Willis, according to the Daily Mail, “checked into rehab” on Wednesday.
“Who is the one that gave [the drugs] to them, and who is the one that needs to be held responsible?” Caleb told NewsNation. “Where did it come from?”
In time, the cousin was certain, the truth would emerge.
“The police are doing their job,” Caleb said. “If it takes time, it takes time.”
