In the morning, Barbour found Cummins and Williams appearing to be asleep in the bathtub, now empty. Upon waking Cummins, the two found that Williams, wearing a black and silver dog collar, was unconscious and appeared dead.
Cummins reportedly screamed and ran into the living room where he proceeded to vomit before leaving Barbour's home.
