A woman has detailed how she found the motionless and bleeding body of her fiancé in a shipping container near the victim's property, according to reports.
Authorities have said they have launched a homicide investigation for 43-year-old Kenneth Eva after his death in Pierce Township, Ohio.
Eva's then-soon-to-be wife told police "there is blood everywhere" when she called the dispatch operator, according to a Cleveland 19 report.
She then attempted CPR on Eva after being instructed by the operator. However, when paramedics arrived, they pronounced Eva dead at the scene.
Authorities have said that they found Eva with "multiple lacerations in various areas of the body" and his death was ruled a homicide by the Clermont County coroner's office.
Eva's brother, Bradley Wick, expressed his surprise at the entire situation, according to a Fox 19 report.
"It's all crazy. We are just, like, in disbelief with how everything happened," he said.
Speaking about his now-deceased brother, Wick said: "He was a teddy bear in a grizzly bear outfit. There is nothing he couldn't do. We shared a lot of time together, and he got me into a lot of different things like motorcycles and cars and that kind of thing."
Speaking about the possibility of a suspect, Wick said he did not know anyone who could have done it, and his family has also said Eva was not the type to make enemies.

According to the statistic website Statista, in 2021 Ohio was the state with the third most homicides in the U.S.
Ohio held this position with a total of 824 homicides, North Carolina was in second place with 928, and Texas led all states with 2,064 homicides.
Last month, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that 24 local law enforcement agencies would receive more money to combat violent crime.
They would receive a total of $11.7 million to prevent and investigate violent crime incidents including domestic violence, gun violence and human trafficking, according to a WTAM report.
The grants would be the 10th round of the Ohio Violent Crime Reduction Grant program.
DeWine has so far awarded nearly $70 million to 146 Ohio law enforcement agencies as part of this program.
Speaking on the issue, he said: "Local law enforcement agencies spend considerable time and resources to combat violent crime and make their communities safer.
"By funding advanced technological tools and increased staffing through this grant program, we are supporting their mission and helping the cause."
