The TRUTH as of April 6th 2007 10pm Winter was talking on the phone with a friend shortly before he committed suicide, station officials said. The friend was on his way to Winter’s home.
At 3:30 p.m., an anonymous caller contacted the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office to ask that a deputy go by Winter’s home in Lithia to check on his well-being, sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.
When deputies arrived, Winter’s vehicle was in the driveway, Carter said. Deputies knocked on the home’s doors, but he did not answer.
As deputies forced their way through the front door, they heard a gunshot.
Winter’s body was found inside the garage. No one else was in the home, Carter said.
He left behind a note, but Carter said she did not know what it said.
Shortly after deputies arrived, Winter’s friend arrived at the house.
The friend told deputies he had not spoken to Winter for several minutes before then and that Winter would not answer his phone upon repeated attempts to call him, Carter said.
By 8 p.m., Winter’s body had been removed from his single-story home in the Tealrise subdivision.

[edit] John Winter and drugs
Whoever says that John Winter killed himself over drugs, cut it out now. Not only do we not know the clear reason why he killed himself, but connecting a deceased weatherman with illegal drugs is very bad taste. You know who you are. Cease and desist. -- azumanga 22:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
