FIRST ON KTVB.COM
MERIDIAN - Police are investigating a possible homicide in a Meridian home.
Two people entered a house on Snyder and Ocean Ave. near Ten Mile Rd. in Meridian Sunday to feed a cat - when they discovered a body. The victim is described as a 45-year-old man - but further details on his identity have not yet been released.
Meridian Police Chief Jeff Lavey described the scene as "bloody" and said there was obvious trauma to the man's head - but the exact cause of death is not yet known.
Lavey said the death did not happen Sunday, and that the body had been in the home for a few days.
Police say the people who found the body are friends of the victim. A victim witness coordinator is on the scene helping in the investigation.
Meridian Police and Idaho State Police's Crime Lab are working together on the case.
