A Kansas City Chiefs fan who invited friends round to watch a game has claimed he was 'asleep on the couch' with no idea they were dead outside for two days.

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

According to Willis' lawyer, John Picerno, Willis had no idea that his friends were dead in his backyard until police knocked on his door to conduct a welfare check after receiving a call from the fiancée of one of the men.

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

Picerno has claimed Willis was sleeping on the couch with a loud fan running next to him when friends and family members of the deceased came looking for him.

Willis also allegedly didn't see a message from one of the men's wives until after he was contacted by police.

As police investigated the scene, they confirmed there was a body on the back porch.

"Upon further investigation, officers located two other dead bodies in the back yard," the Kansas City Police Department said in a statement.

Speaking to the New York Post, Picerno said: "He was asleep. He was asleep on the couch.

"The last memory he has is of them leaving [out] the front door, he doesn’t know what happened, um, with them, until you know, when the police came Tuesday night to his house."

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

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Becchina added: “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."

Picerno added that investigators determined there was no foul play involved in the deaths of the three men, and that his client was not under investigation.

Temperatures in Kansas City on 7 and 8 January mostly stayed in the low 30s, but dropped into the teens on the afternoon of 9 January.

A toxicology report is expected to shed more light on the incident, and hopefully provide answers as to why the men passed away outside while their cars and Willis' house were just yards away.

Willis has since moved out of the home.
