Three Kansas City Chiefs fans frozen and dead outside a HIV scientist's home had ingested triple the amount of fentanyl needed to kill, it is claimed.

David Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, were found dead and frozen in Jordan Willis' backyard in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 9.

Initial toxicology information on the three men suggest traces of cocaine, THC and fentanyl, according to TMZ and NewsNation. A family member told one reporter the men tested Level 30 for fentanyl, triple the amount needed to kill them.

1. Gets Weirder & Weirder

That's a lot of drugs at the same time.
Lots of loose ends, too.
Not sure what being Chiefs' fans has to do with anything, though.

4. The Daily Mail has something against Kansas? Who knows.

5. Here is what I understand about most fentanyl od's

Not an expert or anything

Fentanyl is used to cut cocaine.
The dealers or whoever cuts it do not give a damn and the mixing is not precise so anyone can get more or less cocaine/fentanyl in one use. Too much fentanyl in one “8 ball” or whatever they purchase can lead to a quick death. Many in Seattle have od’d this way.

The story of these three broke during the below 0 days around the time Chiefs played Miami. I think that is the only reason it made news as Chiefs fans. I follow the story and basically my take is they had been at the game, and the temps were national news so Chiefs fans freezing became the headline.

I don’t do coke but I know many (unfortunately) that do and I lecture them heartily about this. They don’t listen. Damnit 💀

6. I Was In A Band...

...big, popular one, that broke up over coke. So, I get it.

8. This post has made my morning

The guessing game is in full swing. Have already ruled out Don Felder and Mick Fleetwood.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Overshootinh Dramatically

Didn't mean to cause that.
We were big & popular as a club act in the Chicago market.
Guessing who doesn't matter. We're nobody you heard of outside the Chicago market.
Sorry for the confusion.

[BannonsLiver]

18. Well it was fun while it lasted

Thanks for the clarification!

[limbicnuminousity]

11. Holy bejebus, you were in....

wait, that doesn't narrow it down much now does it?

[ProfessorGAC]

16. See Post #15

15 explains the confusion.

19. It's more than I ever did with music.

The teasing was meant to be lighthearted, sorry if it came across otherwise.

21. I've Played...

...more than 2,000 gigs in my time.
Fantastic & moderately lucrative hobby. But, just a hobby.
In case you haven't heard these in the past, here's one set of what I have online. This is not a band. I'm doing everything.

32. I loved it, liked running down a dream, too.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Thanks

That one is the truest to the original. It's slower & all the guitar parts are different, but still pretty faithful.
The other; not so much.

14. They were all at a friend's house for the

game. The friend was in the house the whole 2 days they were out there and never noticed. I think he was out cold but he was inside.

[obamanut2012]

23. I agree -- he was in a "drug dump"

Out of his mind for two days, luckily inside and luckily below the amount needed to kill him.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. They were at a CHIEFS party at a friends. nt

2. It is a good reason to stay away from street drugs. Like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.

7. Legalizing and regulating drugs saves lives

I bet they thought they were enjoying cannabis and cocaine and had no idea that deadly levels of fentanyl had been used to cut the cocaine.

The drug war is a tragic deadly joke.

[HeartachesNhangovers]

13. I'm not so sure. Legalizing pot on the West Coast hasn't done a thing to eliminate or even reduce the black market.

Politicians seem to think that "regulating" means "setting taxes and bureaucratic licensing hurdles high enough to ensure that illegal, unregulated markets continue to thrive".

[maxsolomon]

22. the black market for weed hasn't reduced?

I don't know anyone that buys weed on the black market in WA. why bother?

[obamanut2012]

24. I'm in CA and same

Maybe some of the unhoused without ID, or those who aren't legally allowed to buy weed, but that's it.

[maxsolomon]

25. was weed decriminalization supposed to reduce demand for other drugs?

i mean, i guess, but that's probably aspirational, and not realistic during the fentanyl crisis. you can't replace opiates with weed.

[obamanut2012]

28. What does fentanyl have to do with the cannabis black market?

[maxsolomon]

38. I thought that's what Post 13 was asserting.

I guess I continue to be naive.

[limbicnuminousity]

30. Price.

States are gouging the medical marijuana industry. It's cheaper on the street. There was an article about this in New York today.

[maxsolomon]

37. OK. I can buy an 1/8 oz. for $30 at any dispensary in Seattle.

That's less than it was pre-decriminalization. Must be an issue in other states.

In the New York Times today?

[limbicnuminousity]

40. Not the NYT

It was this: https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/01/31/hochul-calls-weed-rollout-disaster-hochul-blames-law/

Would be nice if it were covered by medical insurance. They'll pay for opiods but not MM for chronic pain.

9. Biggest shock of the year.

[Emile]

10. Fentanyl is flowing across the border because Trump

and the Republican Congress want it to be a campaign issue for Trump.

[malaise]

12. and because they

are making millions from it - don't be fooled

[Sogo]

17. Bingo!

[maxsolomon]

27. Trump & Congressional Republicans are profiting from street Fentanyl?

I may be fooled, but that seems a bit... overstated.

[Beausoleil]

29. The problem is that most fentanyl is being smuggled

by US citizens coming across at legal Ports of Entry along the southern border, not by asylum seekers.

[flying_wahini]

33. I read somewhere recently that 80% of the Fentanyl drug busts (at the Mexico border )were American citizens.

[pwb]

26. Sounds like weed with laced with fentanyl.

Same thing happened around here. Black market weed is dangerous.

[happybird]

31. There is enough fentanyl in coke now

to make you dopesick after going on a short binge. It even survives the process of cooking powder into crack.

I have a handful of friends who still partake and they've been bitching about it for close to a year since most of them are ex-heroin addicts. The amount of fentanyl has gradually been getting larger and larger.

[senseandsensibility]

35. I am curious about the wording "it is claimed"

Is that because this does not come from a reliable source??

[underpants]

36. Figured that would be the case. How horrible

[brush]

39. I figured it was drugs. They went outside to take hits but...

what they had must've been a lethal mixture of coke and fentanyl that overcame them so quickly they weren't even able to come in out of the cold.

Too sad.
