Dead man found in jacuzzi with KARK meteorologist (I cannot make this up)

[PelicanGuy 117]

Meteorologist Brett Cummins, who has been with KARK since 2001, was questioned by police on Monday after he was found asleep in a bathtub along with a dead man wearing 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. When Cummins eventually awoke, he discovered that Williams was not breathing and his face was discolored.

 

Barbour told police that when Cummins discovered Williams’s lifeless body, he ran out of the bathroom screaming and vomited on the living room carpet.

 

Cummins reportedly left the house after discovering the body but later returned and spoke to police. He was eventually released.

 

KARK general manager Mike Vaughn told ArkansasBusiness.com that he could not comment about the incident.

 

“It’s just our company’s policy not to comment on personnel issues,” Vaughn said. “I have no comment.” Cummins’s Bio remains on the KARK website.

Cummins' forecast (way too many puns in those 2 words alone...) calls for cloudy skies with a chance of crack.

 

Lordy, please forgive me.

Nothin' wrong with a couple of dudes hangin' out in a tub. Too bad drugs and a dog leash had to get involved, now it sounds weird.

In the most serious post on this topic so far, this was creepy, disgusting and horrifying. I have never heard of anything like that before in my life.

My condolences to the passing victim's family. And I hope that the meteorologist in the story isn't the one who killed the man. Talk about WOW.

OK, that is the weirdest story I've heard on TVNT in a LONG time and I've been on here for a good while! :unsure: :wacko:

 

To quote the "Late" Rick James - "Cocaine is a one hell of a drug." :huh: :mellow: :huh: :unsure: :wacko:

I'm in complete agreement. I can't think of another story that has been discussed here anywhere close to this bizarre.

I think bizarre is an understatement. Lets find another word that is a synonym to bizarre to describe this.

Would totally f***ed up work in this situation?

The family of Dexter Williams (the man who was in the tub with Cummings) has released a statement saying that he was “easily influenced.” Police are telling the local stations that they’ve received preliminary autopsy results in the death, but have yet to release those findings.

 

TVSpy has more details.
