Here's a story that Arkansas residents didn't see coming in the 5-day forecast: Little Rock, Arkansas-area weatherman Brent Cummins, 33, was found by his roommate in the bathtub with a dead guy wearing a dollar collar with whom he had been drinking and snorting drugs.
MYFOXdfw reports:
Police are trying to figure out what happened to an Arkansas man who was discovered dead in a bathtub with a sleeping television meteorologist.
Homeowner Christopher Barbour, who says he is a friend of 33-year-old KARK weatherman Brett Cummins, told police that he woke up Monday morning and found his friend asleep in his bathtub with a dead man wearing a dog collar lying next to him.
Barbour told investigators Cummins had brought a friend that Barbour knew only as "Dexter" over the night before and the three were drinking and snorting drugs.
Barbour said he later went to sleep on his couch, and woke up around 8 a.m. the next morning.
He heard snoring from the bathroom and saw the two men in the tub, which had no water in it. He shook Cummins awake, and the two tried to wake "Dexter."
Barbour told police that Cummins screamed when he saw the discolored face of the man later identified as 24-year-old Dexter Paul Williams, then bolted from the bathroom and vomited in the living room.
Cummins then left the house and promised to return later, Barbour told police. Officers are investigating the death and the medical examiner is awaiting toxicology results to see how Williams died.
Cummins' photo and bio are still on the KARK website.
In a brief story reporting the death on Monday, KARK reported, "[Cummins] will not be on the air, as he is mourning the loss of his friend."
