Interesting

Assuming the resident actually made that statement, perhaps he thought that “hypothermia” was a kinder alternative to a substance-related death.

Strange that Inside Edition redacted the name:

Friends Demand Answers After 3 Men Found Dead Outside Kansas City Home

Two friends of the men who spoke with Inside Edition Digital say Ricky Johnson, David Harrington and Clayton McGeeney had all gone to the house on Sunday to watch the Kansas City Chiefs game, and no one had heard from them since that time.

What is going on with MSM and this case?! Is the dude a diplomat? No one is immune from MSM. Totally bizarre!

I do find it a bit surprising that not even any of the trashier tabloids have published the name after it was redacted from one of the very first articles.

At this point, he hasn't been accused of anything, at least legally, that we know of. It's still very weird, like not even saying something completely innocuous like "At Mr. So-And-So's house".

Yes, I agree with this theory. However, it is perplexing to me that all three men would loose consciousness at same time in freezing back yard. It seems at some point they would have been lucid enough to seek the warmth of indoors.
On the other hand, perhaps whatever they consumed made their senses unaware of the freezing temperatures and thus impaired them to seek warmth. I still can't help but wonder if they died indoors and were dragged outdoors after death. Just wondering and moo

One of the men was carrying extra weight which can help insulate the body core when it comes to hypothermia. Perhaps they all either drank too much or ingested some kind of drug, even a hallucinogen, and were sitting around the table outside and the heavier guy was the one found on the porch trying to get back in the house while the other two were experiencing hallucinations not only from the drug but the effects of hypothermia.

Were phones, wallets and car keys found on the victims, or were such personal items inside?

 

[PrairieWind]

That’s why the toxicology report will be essential. It was said in the media that the medical examiner is expected to rule on cause of death within a week.

I don’t see how that could be done without at least a preliminary toxicology report, even though people are saying that it takes weeks or months?

Agree, we are just going to have to see what the medical examiner says. I think some toxicology could be back quickly and it could also be that the ME doesn't need toxicology to determine COD.

 

[caradana]

Toxicology should authoritatively answer what happened here, and I’m beyond curious to learn what it reveals.

I wondered about this as well, but unfortunately the police have not given that information to the media as far as I can tell.

Interesting, and it would explain the difference in location of the bodies, definitely.

Agreed. Unless he has an attorney who wrote some kind of ‘cease and desist’ letter to the media threatening litigation? I just don’t see otherwise why the Daily Mail or The Sun didn’t jump on it.

Actually, correction: Daily Mail did run a piece but I don’t think it gives his name. Better photos than other articles:

The men's causes of death remain under investigation, officials said that there were no initial signs of foul play.

If there is an attorney involve I wouldn't be surprised if they were hired by his employer.

I question the veracity of some of the information in the DM article. They say the man who lived in the house was in his late 40s but considering the 3 deceased individuals were all in their mid to late 30s and were school mates of the renter, I doubt they have his age correct. Although, his appearance may belie his age.

Agreed that his employer may have a legal team who contacted the media.

Actually from photos I have seen elsewhere he’s quite young looking. Right, they didn’t do enough fact-checking.

 

[GoBuckeyes]

His name being redacted, is that something we have seen before? Does he work for the government or a "prestigious" place? Or maybe just has a powerful and sharp attorney? (Not implying anything, it's just very interesting to me, his identity being protected.)

I'm wondering if he's a diplomat?

Since there were reportedly no signs of obvious foul play, I think the most likely scenario is some sort of an overdose situation. Unfortunately, similar circumstances have happened in other places with far too much frequency. (I can’t really think of a logical explanation for the resident’s behavior at this time, but I also don’t feel like I know enough details to speculate about that part of the story just yet.)

Here are a few similar news stories I’ve found about group overdoses —

Thank you for posting this: The one that said “no obvious signs of trauma” mirrors our Kansas City case: 3 adult men all dead with no obvious injuries.

It really illustrates how common group death has become—- Horrendous. And very depressing . Now that I’ve read these I’m beginning to see overdose as the most likely explanation.

I would say that 95% of the men I have known that lived alone -
