3 Kansas City Chiefs fans found frozen outside home of friend who had ‘no knowledge’ of deaths: lawyer
YNY Post ^ | Jan. 22, 2024, | Christina Coulter

Friends and family members of the three men say that they had all gathered at a friend’s house to watch the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers on the night of Jan. 7.

The Kansas City Police Department announced that the men’s bodies were discovered at 9:51 p.m. Jan. 9 after one man’s fiancée requested a welfare check.

One man’s body was found on the back porch of the home on the 5200 block of NW 83rd Terrace, while the other two were in the backyard.

The men had apparently frozen to death.

John Picerno, an attorney representing the homeowner, said his client had no idea his friends were dead until police knocked on his door.

“He had no knowledge that they remained in his backyard or that they needed medical attention,” Picerno stated in a news release sent to FOX 4.

Moreover, the attorney claims, his client did not hear two people that came looking for the men at his house – he was allegedly sleeping with headphones and a loud fan. Although the attorney acknowledged that one of the men’s wives contacted his client on Facebook Messenger, he said the homeowner did not see the message until after police made contact.

Although two of his friends’ cars were parked on the street outside his house, Picerno said, it “would not be unusual for his friends to have left their cars there overnight.”

“It is unclear whether alcohol or drugs were involved in the men’s deaths”

BOTH!

48 hours and three dead bodies in your back porch and yard and you never looked outside one time?

Implausible.........

Fairly decent suburban neighborhood — lived in that area for many years back a dozen years ago.

You can freeze to death in Florida, too, but you’ll have fewer chances to do so. We were in the 20s last week for a few nights.

How awful for the four families.

Very plausible. I lived in KC and during the winter, people don’t use their backyards as much.

Not implausible if you binge a great deal on alcohol and or drugs, and sleep it off the next day. Maybe you never look in your back yard. Nothing to see - or at least expect to see nothing, so you don’t look.

It was 20 degrees Friday here in Atlanta and I saw a man dressed only in shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops get out of his car and walk into a store in a strip mall. He had a woman with him who was dressed more appropriately for the temperature.

I’ve seen that in Central NY as well, where people should know better.

The laws of physics don’t care how tough you think you are or how cool you can show everyone you are. Hypothermia is hypothermia and heat loss is heat loss and both can kill.

I don't think so. Depends on if you use your backyard or if you have a door that opens right to it.

In the house I grew up in, the back door opened into the driveway on the side. The backyard wasn't all that accessible and didn't have a good view to it anyways. And nobody stops to regularly check their backyard to make sure nobody is frozen to death in it. Especially if nobody has any cause to be using it.

I saw such many times in the past week, 0-10°F here, including kids with their parents! They think get out of the warm car, go into the warm McDonald’s, so what’s the problem? They don’t seem to be able to grasp that the car could break down en-route, be in an accident, etc.

I am amazed at the number of morons I see in flip flops and shorts in 37 degree weather. Most of them look mid 30’s and younger.

The only time I’m on my back porch in subzero weather is to take out the trash. I can believe the owner didn’t know these guys were out there.

I lived in Ithaca for 5 years. And in the winter I never saw anyone dress like that. It must be a new form of insanity. Or some sort of TicTok challenge. Which is pretty much the same thing as insanity.

We lived in the Syracuse area and saw it all the time.

I think people figured they would just be going from a warm car toa warm store or house, so didn’t need it. Although I did see people strolling down the street dressed in summer clothes when it was snowing out. And that was years ago, so it’s been going on a long time.

The other pet peeve I have is parents who dress appropriately who are being followed by grade school kids in play clothes as if it’s summer. If you feel cold, they will. MAKE them dress appropriately. You’re the parent. Act like one.

But they should know better.

If drunks knew better, we wouldn’t have DUI problems.

Those are not just flip-flops, they are winter flip-flops.
