Three Men Mysteriously Die in Backyard of Kansas City House After Football Party | Case Analysis 

As someone with a roommate who sleeps for days at a time due to drugs/hangover often on the couch and never goes outside I can completely see how he'd fail to notice I was dead outside.

Drugs dont discriminate. There are plenty of "good people" who have been lost to laced drugs.

I am 59 now. When I was in high school I went to my friends house for a Super Bowl party and while I was there, an acquaintance put LSD in a beer that I was drinking. I only remember drinking the beer and then I remember being home and staring at my eye in the bathroom mirror. I have zero recollection of what happened to me. I found out later that I drank a gallon of milk and ate a bunch of bananas. I could have easily died because I have no idea how I got home and anything could have happened to me. I think what these guys took was probably more powerful than what I consumed unknowingly. Don’t go to parties where there are people taking drugs. You could end up in a casket.

Back in my drug induced party days , I could easily sleep 2 days during the 'comedown' and the only movement would be towards the bathroom and as quickly as possible. Wouldn't even dream of answering a knock at the door. Also a fan makes a great noise canceling device, even in winter.

Ive literally gone 3 days without seeing my backyard while i was home. I took my dog out front and i have blinds/curtains.

Just a quick mention, I can (and do) sleep with a fan running all year round. It doesn’t blow on me when it’s cold but the white noise is great for sleeping.

Thank you for simplifying this. As an alcoholic, I knew exactly what this was. No mystery. 3 grown men partied til they died. End of story.

Drunks falling asleep in freezing weather.... What possibly could have happened 😮 Such a mystery

i’m four years sober from cocaine and alcohol, and Dr. grande, hit the nail on the head at the end about substance addiction. I felt lost and hopeless in life not knowing what I was gonna do and not feeling I had anything else to give so I turned to alcohol and later cocaine, and those were the two things that soothe my misery of existence. But since I became sober, I became self-employed, doing what I love, and that has given me purpose that I didn’t think I could have, and that’s something better than alcohol or cocaine could ever give me!

Dr. Grande, When I went to detox, I told them about my fet use. They told me i tested positive for cocaine and i never even did cocaine. Thats when they told me that cocaine is often added to the fet. Its not as common that fet would be added to cocaine. Usually its the way I stayed above. But now-a-days, who knows. Ive been sober from opiates for years and im so thankful I made it out alive. We do recover ❤

Dude who checked into rehab could've built up tolerance to fentanyl while his friends were less frequent users and couldn't handle the same dose without succumbing to respiratory depression.

I have a loud fan running in my room all year long. I live in a cold climate. I need the noise to sleep. I just point it away from the bed when its too cold.

My brother's generation: Drugs will make you stupid. My Generation: One hit & you're hooked. This generation: First time dead.

Simpsons said it first. "To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems." --Homer J. Simpson

Our family knows a fentanyl addict: he is/was an oral surgeon. He was caught watering down dosages given to his patients for his own personal recreational use. He lost his license and is facing some legal issues both civil and criminal.

As an Australian the most surprising thing in this video is that Kansas City is in Missouri and not Kansas as I previously assumed.

I LOVE how Dr. Grande's eyes get shifty when he says "situation like this" its endearing and I don't know why! 😆💖

I fell asleep one night while looking at the stars in 20° weather. A violent shiver woke me up. I've always heard that shivering is your body generating heat with muscle movement. It seems to be multifunctional. Glad I didn't have a toxic sedative in me.

I truly don’t know if I could resist opioids once I started. I doubt it. I can barely stop myself from eating a cookie.

Thank you for treating the victims with respect.

As a drug addict, I gotta say that your description of drug addiction as the "greatest romantic tragedy possible" is spot on. Most people who aren't addicted can't understand this, but to the addict, the drug is literally the greatest thing imaginable. That's why so many people end up dead.

If you aren't an addict be grateful!! It took me a long time to be okay but the damage is always there. I hope the surviving man does okay and heals mentally, physically and spiritually.

Throwing this in, knowing others have too, we always keep our fans running!!

This is such a logical, level headed explanation of the situation. As someone who’s lost most of my family to drugs, thank you for this.

Why is it weird that he had a fan on? I know it's winter, but they're indoors and I don't find it weird to have a fan on to circulate air and make white noise

I have tinnitus and always keep a fan running at night regardless of season. In a completely silent room you can’t ignore the ringing and it’s difficult to fall asleep.

I never quite heard the definition of drug addiction explained like this. You are one hundred percent correct that is exactly how it is. Thanks doctor grande

Wow. I shot heroin for 20 years, 6 1/2 years clean now; your description of addiction at the end of the video was perfect.

i have 'white noise' fan running in my bedroom 24/7. my son is constantly playing computer games late at night. the fan drowns it out. it's not crazy to run a fan.

You have a soothing voice, Dr Grande. Some of these murder mystery shows increase my anxiety but I know once I click on your channel I won't be startled by someone hollering.

How tragic. Supposedly this guy’s nickname was the chemist. I agree with your analysis. I hope that Jordan takes this lesson to heart and no longer puts himself in such dangerous situations

I use a loud fan year round because I need the sound to drown out my tinnitus which keeps me awake at night. I also know many people who sleep with fans going regardless of the time of year. I don't think that's a great argument. As always, excellent analysis!

My brother is an alcoholic. He fights as best he can. He once said to me “you don’t understand the power of addiction...it torments you day and night”

It's currently 66 degrees inside my house and I have a fan on full blast in my room. I'm a very light sleeper and have used a fan for years to block out noise.

Spring, summer, winter and fall.. I CANNOT sleep without my ginormous, industrial fan running. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The deceased have to take responsibility for their actions. They took the drugs. Nobody forced them down their throats. It's very sad. When you play with fire, eventually it will burn you.

There was a report that his dog(s) were staying elsewhere.

Somehow, the Chiefs winning the super bowl eerily informs the tragedy of this case; they would have enjoyed the victory of their team so much. 😢

Just a thought, Jordan woke up by the police knocking. They have a special way of getting one's attention even with the fan running. He may have staggered to the kitchen or bathroom, but wasn't sober yet.

Your take on addiction brought tears to my eyes, it hit so close to home, and was so spot on. I didn't realize what a death grip alcohol had on me until I became sober in 2009.

Dogs werent there. They all prob had fent, owner just was warm and slept it off

Remember if you do a drug everything that happens is your fault unless you're a woman who just stabbed her boyfriend 108 times then it's the drugs fault

Some years ago a kid I went to school with on longisland , moved not too far away. He lived with his girlfriend and their 8 month old daughter. While home one night dad and baby downstairs , girlfriend upstairs , dad ODs off what I was told was meth , girl upstairs does the same . Baby lived for a couple days , but then died as well. Neighbors finally checked in on them , a little too late. Sleep in peace guys , hope anyone fighting addiction, finds their way out ❤️

the victims families are in denial along with most overdoses...and denial is not a river in egypt...

"Frozen In Time"? That's cold Dr Grande...prrrrretty cold.

You stop shivering after your body temp gets low enough. Often times, the individual stops feeling cold starts to feel hot and then undresses which quickens the temperature loss

Your comments on the nature of addiction were eloquent and insightful. And so true.

Very sober description of addiction Dr Grande. I was given medical fentanyl for a procedure. Everything went well till it started to wear off. I never want to feel that way again and I never want to be given that drug again.

I e never heard anyone describe addiction so well. I'm 7 years clean now and in EMS trying to give back ... People on drugs will do what he did. Easy. Sleep two days and not open any blinds, or maybe even get out of bed.

Best description of drug addiction I have ever heard.

Your analysis of drug abuse is spot on. I am familiar with addiction. Your viewpoint nailed it in regards to the most tragic love affair ever. Addicts know the danger. That’s part of the rush. Many make excuses for it…..others don’t want to think about it. And the rest know absolutely what they are willingly doing.

My husband died from an overdose. And he was the best, most kind person I have ever met in my life. Everyday I try to find answers as to why this happened to him

I can't believe no neighbors saw them out one of their upstairs windows

As to why there was a loud fan on during the winter Dr Grande, it's probably for the white noise; a common sleeping aid for tintinitis suffers.

Sounds to me like Guy number five was just there briefly to drop off the drugs and then took off. A highly skilled scientist would not concoct a low quality batch of drugs!!

Wow Dr.Grande, your closing thoughts on this case. So deep and well said

I am sad for the men. It breaks my heart.

The description of the feeling/consequences of the drug Dr. Grande gives at the end is the most accurate I’ve ever heard. It seemingly gives you everything but always ends taking everything. Freedom, family, even life. It’s so important to get help before that happens.

First, love your channel Dr. Grande. This is exactly what I said when it first happened, "stoned in the snow" that is the answer. Family members want to accuse and point fingers at others because that is what codependent relatives of addicts do, they protect the addict and blame everyone else. The guests were watching the game, partaking in legal and illegal activities, they probably were so out of it they thought they were going out front to their cars and instead went to the back in confusion. Now as far as blaming the homeowner for not seeing and knowing... he was stoned too! Later, it makes sense to me because during a snow storm we close all the drapes, turn up the heat, open the cabinets for the pipes, put on TV and hunker down. We don't go looking in the back yard or wondering about the cars in the street... The homeowner was probably too stoned to let the dog out. Days go by, I don't answer the door to people I don't know, I check the camera and if I'm not dressed, and I don't want to socialize, I ignore the doorbell. Am I the only one that does that? People need to call first. The cops show up, yes I will answer that door! I feel that they were all druggies and had no idea the consequences of the fentanyl, like so many others that have met the same demise, and family members will need to come to terms with that fact so they can have peace.

I have a couch in my bedroom.

I remember seeing this in my news feed the day it was originally reported on, the causes of death had yet to be determined. I had thought to myself, "sounds like fentanyl". I had a cousin who had been both a heroin addict and an alcoholic. After 15+ years of battling his addiction with 3 tries at half-way counseling/lockup he took his life with fentanyl just over 3 years ago. He had the discipline to go to the gym daily and exercise for 2 hrs (he was in incredible shape, physically) but not to stay clean. The path of destruction that opioids, either natural or synthetic, are cutting through westernized nations is horrific. It's not just the loss of life but the scars that it's inflicting on the loved ones left alone, wondering "why?" that are so tragic. Thank you Doctor for your thoughtful and well meaning video.

Wow, everything you said there at the end, Dr. Grande, is very deep, heavy and succinct. Powerful, indeed. That summed up the life of a drug user perfectly. I have never heard it stated like this.

Oh Dr. Grande, your final comments on addiction and the harsh reality therein nearly brought a tear to my eye. You are a very talented man, with a lot of experience and wisdom. Thank you for this video and everything you do! You are a gem:)

You should let your friends snort the white powder first and wait 30mins before trying it yourself or DON’T DO DRUGS 😵😮‍💨

Is it possible that Taylor Swift is involved in this?

Dr. Grande, I enjoy your videos, but this one is extremely informative. Thank you!

This is so beyond sad. Thank you for talking about maladaptive behavior. You are very much correct on that.

This is such a sad situation for everyone involved.

So hard to find the origjns of illegal drugs. Any steeet drugs are dangerous. Great points as usual. Thanks Dr G😊🧡🧡

It snowed about 5-7 inches on January 8-9th in Kansas city.

I got home from a Christmas party at 11:30pm Friday night, and woke up Sunday afternoon at 2:30 pm. Only lots of booze and weed.

I like how you put the responsibility on the individual abusing illegal drugs. You state the facts of the euphoria they experience but hold them to account for pursuing the high even though they are fully aware of the danger.

Here's the thing. Drug use is different from drug addiction. These people were probably recreational drug users who were just having a good time at a party. Like most recreational drug users, these people were contributing members of society. Our society needs to accept that many doctors, teachers, insert respected profession here, use drugs recreationally. This is not an immoral or uncommon pastime but one that has been with humanity almost as long as we have been human. This was almost certainly a case where drug prohibition caused these men's deaths because with regulation comes safety for everyone involved in the drug trade from producers to users. These men were probably not aware they were consuming fentanyl unless they were purposefully speedballing, but even if they were aware, overconsumption can still happen. Overdose mixed with the cold temperatures caused these deaths, and no one should be held criminally liable.

I hope your read this Dr Grande. I appreciate the time you spend researching each case. I appreciate the high volume of videos you release for me and us all. Mostly I appreciate how you introduce each video with the same format as an autistic person who finds routine and structure important and regulating for my relaxation time in particular, and RU-vid videos, you being my favourite lately, is the activity I do as relaxation time. I've tried listening to some podcasts like crime and wine or something. But the format isn't like yours. There is excessive and pointless chat and they don't stick to the facts. (in my opinion). You stick to the facts and you also make some what I guess you could call puns and jokes which are easy to understand and, having what is described as a dry sense of humour, your jokes amuse me and make me laugh.. I feel like you are clever, safe, organised and witty in a way that's tasteful and understated. I find your channel is so informative and great for me. You have taught me a lot. I agree that Addiction is hard to fight I've struggled myself not with a substance but with screen time since a kid. My parents just died recently and suddenly and it gets lonely at times and you are my go to for company. I appreciate it a lot! And I love your 🌵 cactus memorabilia. And checkered shirts. So thanks Dr Grande I promise I'm not a creep, I'm a 33yo female.from England and enjoy your show which is far better than anything on TV. Best wishes to you and your family.

Your analysis is spot on as per usual. As a tecovering addict of just about every drug there is, I could not have articulated this better myself. Btw, my 15 yr old son is now a huge fan of yours and watches your videos on the bus to school. He said he's learnt more from watchhing your analyses than he has from 3 years of high school (lol). He says you should get a T.V. show and you'd be as famous as Dr Phil. (I know you're personally not a huge fan of his). Sending thanks and hugs from Down Under.

Dr. Grande, ur description of Drug Addiction was 💯 % accurate! Next month, on 3/4/24 will mark 8 yrs clean & sober for me. Thank you for sharing ur channel with us! 😀👍

Thank you for your thoughts on drug and Alkohol abuse. You are so right. It touched me very deep.

I have a sleep disorder, adhd and ptsd. Depression. Anxiety. I can safely tell you that I wouldn’t notice cars on my street or a dead body in my back yard. I have a doggy door. I also don’t get out of bed to answer the door.

Shoutout to those 60 and above: doing dope now is not fun like it was when we were young and stupid. It's all so serious now and the majority of people involved in it are such heartless creeps. There was still a degree of naivete and honesty when we were doing dope but that's all gone now. Too many bad people involved and there is no casual recreational drug use like there was when we were teens and 20s.

Excellent video Dr. Grande 👍

Its the white noise of the fan that helps some people sleep sounder, I myself being one of them!

This is some True Detective season 4 type stuff

The guy renting the house mustve been on a bender...

Anyone can be an addict. Anyone.

Like 99% of the case presented here, the victims are responsible for their own deaths. The pattern is not paying attention to what should be clearly dangerous, or just plain bad judgement. Three at one time is a bit unusual.

Yeah, people talking about how “it wasn’t even *that* cold!” Well, if you sit out there all night you could get *hypothermia*. People talking like they were blocks of ice was odd.

I almost completely disagree with your assertion that "users know the risks" Most do not. They tend to know it after they are addicted, but they do not know the first time or the first few times. Most people are extremely bad at assessing risk of any kind.

The most poignant part is they missed the SB win...

Addiction is a beast. My ex husband lost everything to it, including his life. It destroyed him, but I didn’t go in that direction thank goodness. He was a good man who chose alcohol over everything.

As a retired 30 year law enforcement officer, I can understand how the guy's story makes sense. I have seen it all during my 30 year career, and many people who drink alcohol or do drugs often live differently than a lot of us who don't. He may have been hung over for two days, which means you get up and go to the bathroom, watch some tv in bed, fix a sandwich, and sleep. He could have kept the curtains closed since he was hung over. I personally have a fan running year round for the noise when I sleep. If he looked out the front door and saw the cars, he may have thought the guys called a ride to pick them up since they had been drinking. It doesn't make sense that he knew the guys were in the back yard and he just ignored it and went back to bed. Having said all of that, law enforcement should ALWAYS investigate a death as a homicide until there is no evidence to believe it is a homicide, which takes time, at the very least until after the autopsy is completed.

We appreciate your insights, Dr Grande. You'll always have our support.

Thank you for your Analysis on this situation. Please keep us updated if any new information is reported. 👍

Awesome!! Thank you so much!! A amazing way to start my work day!!

Could it be the host of the party, may have survived because he was an addict so had a higher tolerance? Plus he passed out indoors.

Thank you for the great content Dr. Grande

Dr Grande you’re on a roll 😎

Thanks for sharing

Thanks, Dr. Grande. You are the voice of reason!!

Whohoo! So happy to hear your analysis on this situation. It happened in the city where I live so it’s personal. Thank you, Dr Grande!!!!

lessons to be learned: if a wannabe chemist offers you a drug-laden drink, maybe pass on it.
