(AP) - Authorities say a man was found dead in a bathtub with a chain around his neck in central Arkansas.

Maumelle police were summoned Monday morning to the home, where they found 24-year-old Dexter Williams of Mountain Pine dead.

The homeowner told police he found Williams in the tub with meteorologist Brett Cummins of Little Rock television station KARK.

He says Cummins was asleep and promptly vomited after he awoke and saw that Williams was dead.

Authorities are investigating, and Maumelle police Lt. Jim Hansard says investigators haven't ruled out foul play.

An autopsy is being conducted on Williams' body to determine the manner and cause of death.

Cummins didn't return a message seeking comment.
