The parents of one of the three Chiefs fans found dead in their pal's backyard claim their son 'saw something that they shouldn’t have'.

David Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, were all found dead outside a home in Kansas City, Missouri, rented by Jordan Willis on January 9. This was two days after they went over to watch the Chiefs take on the LA Chargers.

It wasn't until police knocked on the door to conduct a welfare check - after receiving a call from one of the men's fiancée's - that Willis had any idea that his friends were dead in his backyard, according to his lawyer, John Picerno.

Willis allegedly didn't think it was 'unusual for his friends to have left their cars there overnight', and had not realized people were looking for them.

However, as police further investigated the scene, they confirmed there was a body on the back porch of Willis' home and another two bodies in the backyard.

Kansas City Police Captain Jake Becchina has noted that the case is '100 percent not being investigated as a homicide'.

Since then, families of the deceased have revealed what they think happened, with one claiming 'nobody believes' Willis' version of events.

Law enforcement have been clear that Willis is not suspected of any wrongdoing. No arrests have been made.

All involved are now facing the anxious wait for the results of toxicology reports into the mysterious deaths.

Willis’s attorney, John Picerno, said in a statement: "Jordan is unaware of how his friends died. Like the rest of us, Jordan is anxiously awaiting the results of the autopsy and toxicology."

Harrington’s father, Jon, is 'not buying' Willis' story, though.

He told Fox News Digital: "[Harrington’s mother] and I are both convinced that Jordan Willis played a part in this somehow.

"We just haven’t figured out how yet. . . . What else could it be? Perfectly healthy men don’t just drop off the face of the earth."

The father added: "There were four of you in the house and now three of them are dead and you’re not. That doesn’t add up.

"I’m thinking that he, the three of them learned something or saw something that they shouldn’t have seen, and he decided, ‘Well, I need to get rid of you now.’ Friends or not."

Harrington is convinced the Platte County Prosecutor’s Office will put the deaths down as a drug overdose.

"But I don’t think it’s as simple as that," he claimed.

"I’m aware that they may have done some substances that were questionable — but the idea was to get high, not dead... If they were supposed to be friends, why didn’t [Willis] come find them. I’m sure they have a hundred different answers to that, but that’s my question."
