has reached out to the county coroner's office for comment.
Families spoke to said they could not rule out drugs as a possible cause of death for all three men.

Jordan Willis found the events of that night and the days afterward a “tremendous, heartbreaking wake-up call,” a friend said.

An anonymous source close to 38-year-old HIV scientist Jordan Willis' family revealed that he was “devastated” because he was unable to say goodbye or attend his friend's funeral

Investigators are searching the phones of the three men who were found dead nearly 48 hours after the Jan. 7 soccer party.
Willis, an HIV scientist, left his home fearing retaliation just days after police knocked on his door to question him about the bodies and has not been seen since.
The victims' families said they visited Willis at his home for two days, calling him and sending him Facebook messages asking where they were. He didn't answer.
Finally, the fiancée of one of the men broke into the house through the basement and found the first body in the backyard. She then called the police, who arrived to find Willis in his underwear with a wine glass in his hand.
Willis claimed he didn't leave his home for two days and slept with noise-cancelling headphones that blocked out the frantic knocking of his friends' family.
He found the events of that night and the days that followed a “tremendous, heartbreaking wake-up call,” a friend said.
“After the shocking loss of three of his close friends in extremely tragic circumstances, Jordan realized he had an addiction problem,” they told Fox News.
“He checked himself into rehab immediately after leaving his home and putting his belongings in storage.”

Willis is said to be devastated at not being able to say goodbye to his friend or attend his funeral – and is worried about suspicions that he is responsible for their death.
“Not only is the entire country accusing him at this point of murdering his friends without providing any factual details, evidence or charges, but he has also lost three close friends,” the same source said previously.
“Due to the circumstances surrounding these wild speculations and allegations, he was unable to say goodbye or attend their funerals.”
“No one appears willing to wait for the results of the toxicology report or other facts from the police department on a case that is still under investigation to make these speculations.”
They further claimed that Willis' family only learned what happened after local news media contacted them.
The family did not know whether Willis was among those killed.
They also disputed claims that the scientist told people that his friends froze to death in his garden after police arrived at his home.
“What this story lacked was context.” “Not once did he say that his friends froze to death in front of anyone,” they added.

“They could have done that [gone] It was icy and cold out there that night. I don't know how many cars they came; there were three of them and there were only two cars left on the street.
“They could have decided for some reason that they wanted to go back into his house, people leave the house without coats all the time no matter how cold it is, so I can't respond to that statement.”
