Investigators say a man found dead Wednesday inside of his Bath County home had been stabbed several times.
As of Thursday evening, no arrests have been made in the murder of Henry Meade, 54. A friend found Meade’s body around 7 p.m. Wednesday on Wyoming Road near Owingsville.

“He loved to mow and weed eat and he loved his garden,” that friend, Mike Swartz told LEX 18’s Josh Breslow. “Everybody in the community down there where he lived just stopped and bragged on him and everything.”
Swartz owns Swartz Farms, 350 acres of land where Meade lived and worked for about 11 years. He also worked for Mike Swartz Construction and Tree Removal.
Meade missed work on Wednesday and Swartz said he went by his longtime friend’s home to make sure he was alright.
“He was supposed to come out here and weed eat and he didn’t show up. We knew something was wrong,” Swartz said. “I opened the door and I seen.. It’s bad.”
Meade may have actually died the day before his body was found.
“Why’d you do it for? I mean he wouldn’t hurt a fly. He didn’t have no enemies. Everybody liked him,” Swartz said.
Anyone with information on the murder investigation is asked to contact the Morehead post of State Police at (606) 784-4127.
