BEXAR COUNTY, Texas \u2013 The Bexar County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office identified a man found dead Sunday inside the closet of a west Bexar County home<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Michael Anthony Poche, 29, was identified as the victim, the medical examiner\u2019s office said. His body was found wrapped in plastic, the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office said. The medical examiner\u2019s office ruled Poche\u2019s death a homicide.<\/p>\n

Poche suffered sharp force injuries across his face, neck, torso and upper extremities according to the ME\u2019s office. <\/p>\n

Bexar County sheriff\u2019s deputies responded just before 4:30 p.m. Sunday at a home in the 700 block of Fort Leonard, which is located near Potranco Road. <\/p>\n

Margaret Brown, 30, and Poche\u2019s roommate reported Poche missing, records obtained by KSAT Investigates show. <\/p>\n

During a preliminary sweep of the home, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said a deputy found the plastic-wrapped body inside a closet in one of the bedrooms around a pool of blood. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a BCSO spokesperson told KSAT that Poche was the man Brown and Poche\u2019s roommate reported missing. <\/p>\n

After Poche\u2019s body was found, deputies questioned multiple people who lived at the home and later took a married couple into custody.<\/p>\n

Brown and her husband, Christopher Henson, 30, face a tampering with physical evidence charge, records show. The charge is considered a third-degree felony. <\/p>\n

Brown and Henson are accused of cleaning up blood spots in the house and attempting to get rid of evidence.<\/p>\n

Henson posted a $100,000 bond Tuesday and was released from the Bexar County Adult Detention Center, jail records show. Brown remains behind bars on a $100,000 bond. <\/p>\n

Additional charges are possible, a BCSO spokesperson said. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
