A Bath man faces a homicide charge in connection with what authorities are calling a “suspicious” death at a village motel.

Police said Richard I. Seager, 49, of Bundy Avenue, was arrested on one count of criminally negligent homicide after a 49-year-old woman was found dead in her room at the Super 8 motel late last week.

Bath village officers had been dispatched to the 333 W. Morris St. motel at about 11:50 a.m. on Jan. 18 when the body of the female was discovered.

Police said the death was ruled suspicious after interviewing “multiple witnesses” and conducting a “thorough” investigation. Seager was taken into custody on Jan. 19, Bath police said.

Authorities have not released the name of the victim.
