Dead Man in Hot Tub

(Little Rock, Arkansas) Local weatherman Brett Cummins, 33, was found the morning after a party, sleeping in a hot tub next to the naked corpse of a male friend. The corpse sported only a dog collar.

Christopher Barbour, a resident of the house where Cummins was found with the dead body, told police that he witnessed Cummins and the man–a friend of his named Dexter Paul Williams–drinking and snorting illegal narcotics on Sunday night.

Barbour, Cummins, and Williams spent time together in a jacuzzi bathtub before Barbour left the pair alone and went to sleep on a couch in the living room.

When Barbour awoke the next morning, he heard snoring coming from the bathroom and entered to find Cummins asleep in the bathtub–now empty of water–with Williams’s body slumped behind him.

The cause of death is under investigation.

From KTLA:

KARK-TV in Little Rock, where Cummins works as a weatherman, posted a report of the death on its website on Tuesday.

The report said, "Our meteorologist Brett Cummins was at the home at the time of the death and we felt we should share this with our viewers. Brett will not be on the air as he is mourning the loss of his friend. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Dexter Williams."
