As we know, the Kansas City Chiefs play in a very cold climate during the winter, sometimes even recording temperatures below zero degrees. According to a report done by the New York Post, three Chiefs fans were found frozen to death in the backyard of their friend’s home, where they had gotten together to watch the Los Angeles Chargers and Chiefs game in the final regular season game on January 7. The homeowner said that he had “no knowledge” that their bodies were outside for possibly multiple days.
Kansas City Chiefs Fans Found Dead
Three bodies were found on the property, belonging to 37-year-old David Harrington, 38-year-old Ricky Johnson, and 36-year-old Clayton McGeeney were found on January 9 after the fiancée of one of the men requested a welfare check according to the Kansas City police. One body was found on the back porch of the home, while the other two were spotted in the backyard.

The Report
Buffalo Shooting
According to the homeowner, they had “no knowledge” that his friends were freezing to death on his property after watching the game. Here is the report the police told Fox Digital:
First and foremost, this case is 100% NOT being investigated as a homicide. There have not been any arrests or charges, and no one is in custody. There are no specific threats or concerns for the surrounding community at this time. The resident at the house was cooperative with detectives the day the deceased were discovered.
The attorney for the homeowner, John Picerno, said that his client had no idea his friends were dead until police knocked on his door. He said that his client was sleeping with headphones on next to a loud fan when people went to look for his friends and did not see any message from one of the friend’s wives until after the police contacted him.
Loved Ones Celebrate The Lives Of The Victims
While friends and family of the victims were devastated by the tragic news, they honored them by watching their Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills this past weekend to move on to the AFC Championship game. While this incident still has a lot of unknowns as to how the men froze to death, friends, and family aren’t letting the news get to them, and they continue to celebrate their lives as their team makes a Super Bowl run.
