He further stated that the resident at whose house the three men froze has also been very helpful and that “the resident at the house was cooperative with detectives the day the deceased were discovered.” For now, the toxicology reports of the men are awaited in order to determine if there was any alcohol or drugs involved in the deaths of the men.

One of the neighbors expressed shock at this incident: 

It's very scary because I heard nothing. I'm home most of the time, but I didn't hear anything. It's kind of disturbing. It makes you wonder what's going on. But if we don't know yet, could it have been CO? It got cold all of a sudden.
One of the neighbors said

The kith and kin of the deceased are outraged over the incident and refuse to believe the homeowner had no clue about these deaths. Some of them reached out to the homeowner before the police were called to the scene. Kaylee La Tier wrote via a Facebook post:

This man was inside his home alive while my friends were dead in his yard for lord knows how long...he KNEW people were looking for them. He read messages of people searching for him on Tuesday.

The friend further alleged that her husband went out to the resident’s house but he did not respond even after he banged the door for 20 minutes. However, when the cops came, the resident was quick to come out.
