Police are investigating the death of an Arkansas man whose naked body was allegedly found next to a sleeping TV weatherman in a hot tub after a night of drinking and drugs.
The owner of the home awoke Monday morning to find the body of 24-year-old Dexter Williams at the bottom of an empty tub, his face blue and purple and a chain resembling a dog collar around his neck, according to a Maumelle Police report.
Asleep next to him was KARK meteorologist Brett Cummins, 33, who had arrived at Christopher Barbour's home outside Little Rock accompanied by Williams around 8 p.m. on Sunday, Barbour told police.
The three drank and snorted drugs, though Barbour told police he did not know what kind, Officer Gregory Roussie said in a report. The three continued drinking in the hot tub until Barbour retired for the night around 11 p.m., falling asleep on his couch.
Barbour awoke to the sound of Cummins snoring and discovered the two in the hot tub, which had been drained of water, he told police. After he awoke Cummins, the two realized that Williams' face was discolored and his skin cold to the touch, prompting Cummins to scream and run to the living room, where he vomited, Barbour said.
Maumelle Police and fire rescue arrived at the home around 8:10 a.m. and found Williams' body in the tub with blood pooling around his head, Sergeant David Collins said in a report. In the master bedroom he found a pill bottle next to a pair of khaki cargo shorts on a storage ottoman at the foot of the bed.
No arrests had been made as of Wednesday, Lieutenant Jim Hansard said.
KARK reported the incident on its website Tuesday, acknowledging that Cummins was at Barbour’s house.
"Our Meteorologist Brett Cummins was at the home at the time of the death and we felt we should share this with our viewers," the report said. "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."
Cummins has not responded to calls or written requests for comment, and police said they are not releasing preliminary autopsy results for Williams.
you seem
was this meant to be funny........ Rub a dub-dub
Three men in a tub,
And who do ye think they be?
A boozy dope-taker, a pre-diction maker,
and a dog-collar wearer was three!
Get a new job
Yeash... that's gotta be grizzly to wake up to.
I've seen your wife.
Grisly.
1- Its gotta be SUPER awkward for the weatherman to come to work at the NEWS station after this
2- When you cant remember what kind of drugs you took, you bought the really good stuff.
Where's the punchline?
What the.......?
sounds gay to me
This is what happens with inbreeding gone wild.
The horse play of abusive language is not mandatory in this room
That inappropriate behavior is not the Responsiblity of american now
To educate a man in mind and not in morole is to educate a menace to society
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
Today It will be Cold and Chilly to the touch, with a light breeze of dying last breath. Followed by a thunder storm.
@ Slim JimThat is Hilarious!!
And so begins the premise for Hangover 3, the debauchery noir edition.
The chap was just a bit under the weather and his host did not help the situation by gobbing !
My my, you are quite good at making inferences.
The students at my high school who used to go beat up gays on the weekends could have used that course.
how long did it take you to make up some bs
awwwww you saw your sister the end
well that's pretty sick, but you know we are only dancing on this earth for a short while and many waste it on mental aspects practiced to condition physical pleasure
We may dance on this Earth for a short time but we walk through our spiritual world for an eternity.
