NEW YORK POST – The Kansas City Chiefs fan who said he slept for two days as his three friends froze to death in his backyard has checked into rehab, according to a report.
Jordan Willis, 38, is “facing his addiction head-on,” a source close to the family told Fox News Digital, calling the deaths of his friends an “enormous wakeup call.”
“After the shocking loss of three of his close friends under extremely tragic circumstances, Jordan recognized that he had a problem with addiction,” the source said, without elaborating on the exact nature.
“He immediately checked himself into rehab after vacating his home and putting his things into storage.”
The bodies of Willis’ friends — Ricky Johnson, 38, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and David Harrington, 37 — were discovered outside his Kansas City rental home late Jan. 9.
The three men were last seen alive two days earlier, at a small watch party for the Kansas City Chiefs’ Jan. 7 playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
A fifth friend, Alex Waemer-Lee, said he left the gathering around 11 p.m. Jan. 7 while the four remaining men were watching “Jeopardy!,” said Willis’ attorney Andrew Talge.
The bodies were found nearly two days later, when McGeeney’s worried fiancée broke into Willis’ property and saw one of them frozen in the yard.
Willis — who was wearing underwear and holding a wine glass when police arrived — claimed to have been asleep for nearly two days and said he did not realize his friends were dead outside.
The deceased men’s toxicology reports are still pending — though two of them were supposedly seen arriving at Willis’ with two 30-packs of beer, a neighbor told Fox News Digital.
Waemer-Lee is also alleged to have texted other friends about drug use at Willis’ house during the watch party, the outlet added … READ MORE.
