Two Charged in 2024 Deaths of Chiefs Fans Face Wrongful Death Lawsuit

The lawsuit alleges negligence in the drug-related deaths of three men found frozen in a Missouri backyard after a Chiefs watch party.

Jon Harrington, father of victim David Harrington, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson for their alleged role in the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans in January 2024.
Authorities identified fentanyl and cocaine toxicity as the cause of death for David Harrington, Clayton McGeeney, and Ricky Johnson, whose bodies were discovered frozen in Willis' backyard.
Willis and Carson are accused of providing the drugs and failing to render aid when the victims began experiencing fatal effects, according to the lawsuit.
The two men were charged last week with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivering a controlled substance, but both pleaded not guilty.
The lawsuit seeks $100,000 in damages, while the criminal case continues with the next court hearing scheduled for March 11, 2025.
