Authorities said Tuesday that they are investigating the death of an Arkansas man found in an unfilled hot tub with a sleeping TV meteorologist.
Maumelle police were summoned Monday morning to the home where they found Dexter Williams' body in the hot tub.
The homeowner told authorities that Williams and the meteorologist, Brett Cummins of Little Rock television station KARK, had been at his home Sunday night. The homeowner said the next morning, he found Cummins asleep in the hot tub and Dexter Williams next to him. Williams' face was discolored and he had with a chain around his neck, police said. The hot tub was not filled with water.
Maumelle police Lt. Jim Hansard said investigators haven't ruled out foul play in the death of Williams, 24, of Mountain Pine. An autopsy is being conducted on Williams' body.
Cummins spoke with authorities, but police declined to release his statement, citing the ongoing investigation. He has not been charged in Williams' death and no arrests had been made by Tuesday evening.
Cummins did not respond to a phone message left Tuesday.
Mike Vaughn, the general manager for KARK, said Cummins reported to work Monday. He said the station had received the police report about Williams' death and was working to figure out what happened, but he declined to comment further.
KARK reported on Williams' death in a post on its website and added that Cummins "will not be on the air as he is mourning the loss of his friend."

Outlook gloomy.
It ain’t a party till something gets broken, or someone dies in your unfilled hot tub.
The story lacked specifics, such as garb, half-eaten pizza, empty kegs, half-snorted rails of blow, and a goat walking sort of funny.
Empty? What were they playing...Pirate? I guess it wasn’t such a hot tub afterall, but Cummins is in hotwater now.
GLBT Club life members?
Hmmm, and there was that earlier story of the guy arrested for having sex with a raft.
Coincidence? I think not!
I think Brett was playing “Hide My Rain Gauge”. And then it went from bad to worse.
This is the kind of stuff that normally happens AFTER you run for Congress and win
Probably hide the sausage!
