Arkansas TV Weatherman Awakes Beside Dead Body In Hot Tub
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/little-rock-tv-weatherman-awakes-beside-dead-body-in-hot-tub/

Brett Cummins, a meteorologist at Little Rock, Arkansas television station KARK, awoke Labor Day beside a naked corpse with a “dog collar” around his neck in a hot tub according to a police report.

The body was identified as 24-year-old Dexter Paul Williams, who police say had been partying with Cummins and a friend the night before, drinking and snorting drugs. According to the Arkansas News, the police report detailed that once Cummins awoke, he “discovered that Williams was not conscious and his face was a different color. Cummins then screamed and left the bathroom, vomiting on the carpet in the living room.”

Rival Stations Cover KARK Meteorologist’s Role in Bathtub Death of 24-Year-Old


ABC-affiliate KATV led its 6 p.m. newscast with the story, starting with the line “A man is found dead in a bath tub and a local television personality is a witness.” The station’s coverage–which also ran during the 10 p.m. newscast–featured an interview with a police lieutenant and reporting from Stephanie Simoni, who said that Cummins was found in the bathtub with the dead body.

CBS-affiliate KTHV covered the death and the ongoing police investigation at the beginning of its 6 o’clock newscast, mentioning that one of the two witnesses was “KARK chief meteorologist Brett Cummins.”

Like KATV, KTHV interviewed Lt. Jim Hansard and reported that Cummins was found in the bathtub alongside the body. KTHV also relayed the other witness’s claim that Cummins had been snorting illegal narcotics with the man hours before he died.
