You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
Not forecasting there will be a dead guy in your bath tub.
DATELINE: MAUMELLE, Ark.
It’s here that a TV weatherman has some serious “splainin” to do. To viewers, to his boss, to the family of the dead dude wearing the dog collar.
GULP.
“Fog in the morning people, burning off by late afternoon. Oh and there’s a dead guy in my bath tub. Now back to you Skip.”
The seven day forecast never predicted the gloomy days ahead for KARKweathercaster Brett Cummins. I’m not sure how this one is going to work out for the channel 4 news man, but here’s what we know so far.
Apparently the meteorologist woke up in a friend’s bathtub with a dead guy.
Can you say FADE TO BLACK.
According to police reports; The dead guy was wearing a dog collar.
WOOF WOOF WX MAN.
Investigators say the dead guy was identified as “Dexter”.
Police say the meteorologist was allegedly drinking and snorting drugs with Dexter.
What lead the newscaster and Dexter to an empty bath tub is not known.
It is not uncommon for weather casters to tell us to go to the lowest place or a bath tub during a storm…but this might be stretching things a bit.
Might be better off next time with a NOA WX radio, huh?
No word on weather there were tornadoes in the area.
Officers are investigating the death and the medical examiner is awaiting toxicology results to see how Dexter died.
At the time of this story; Cummins’ photo and bio were still on the station website.
The station reported, “Cummins will not be on the air, as he is mourning the loss of his friend.”
That’s it for weather. And now time for sports.
And that is crazy.
