Toxicology reports have revealed the presence of "several" illegal drugs in the systems of these three Kansas City Chiefs enthusiasts.

Willis, the homeowner and a close friend of the deceased, has reportedly entered rehab for substance abuse in the aftermath of the devastating incident.

Sources close to the investigation have revealed that "several" substances were detected in the toxicology reports of the three friends, as per Fox.

A fifth friend, Alex Waemer-Lee, left the gathering earlier in the evening, around 11 pm, while the others continued watching 'Jeopardy!' According to his attorney, Andrew Talge, Waemer-Lee allegedly texted friends about drug use at Willis' residence during the game.

While toxicology reports have been received by the heartbroken families, they are still in limbo, awaiting autopsy results from the medical examiner's office. Meanwhile, Kansas City police have reiterated that the case is not being treated as a homicide, and no foul play is suspected.
However, some family members of the deceased men remain skeptical, pointing fingers at Willis and expressing doubts about the circumstances surrounding the tragic deaths. Jon Harrington, David's father, openly voiced suspicions, stating, "[Harrington’s mother] and I are both convinced that Jordan Willis played a part in this somehow. There were four of you in the house, and now three of them are dead, and you’re not. That doesn’t add up."
