A lawyer for a man whose three friends were found frozen to death behind his home after they had watched a Chiefs game together says his client did not know the men were there and might need medical attention.

KCTV Channel 5 reports lawyer John Picerno released a statement for his client, Jordan Willis, saying that Willis had “had absolutely nothing to do” with the deaths of Clayton McGeeney, 36, Ricky Johnson, 38, and David Harrington, 37, who were found dead on Jan. 9.

“Jordan had absolutely nothing to do with their deaths,” Picerno says in the statement to KCTV. “He does not know the timing or manner of their deaths, nor does he know how or when they exited his house.

“He had no knowledge that they remained in his backyard or that they needed medical attention. Had he known, he certainly would have called for help. The last time he saw them was when they left his house and he went to bed.”

The Kansas City Star reports police went to Willis’ home after a woman engaged to McGeeney went to the residence while searching for her fiancé. The woman reportedly broke into the home’s basement when no one answered and called police after she found a body on the back porch.

Willis did not hear the woman knocking at his door because he was sleeping with earbuds and a fan on, Picerno said in his statement. The lawyer says Willis was cooperative with police when they arrived, according to reports.

Police tell The Star there were no obvious signs of foul play in the men’s deaths. Fox 4 reports police still are waiting for the results of an autopsy on the three men. Willis has not been charged.

“Jordan is unaware of how his friends died,” Picerno said in his statement. “Like the rest of us, Jordan is anxiously awaiting the results of the autopsy and toxicology report.”
