FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Authorities are saying a Kentucky census
worker found hanging from a tree with "fed" scrawled on his chest
committed suicide and staged his death to look like a homicide.

A news release from Kentucky State Police said Tuesday that Bill
Sparkman died at the same location where his body was found Sept.
12 near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of southeastern
Kentucky.

A man who found the body in the Daniel Boone National Forest
said the 51-year-old was bound with duct tape, gagged and had an
identification badge taped to his neck.

Investigators say Sparkman acted alone in manipulating the scene
to conceal the suicide.

The news release says Sparkman had recently taken out two life
insurance policies that would not pay out for suicide.

Some of you people watch way too much television, why don`t you see if you can get these public records, before you say he couldn`t have done that? I used to be in Clay Co. quite often and have been in lots of "them hollers where all them ol` mean people" reside and always treated them the same as I do everyone, I NEVER had any problems with them. I still think I have a lot of good friends there still. I truly believe that you can go ant place in Clay Co. without worry, if you want trouble, you can find it most anywhere in the world.

If it was suicide, why didn't they find a roll of duct tape nearby?? The man just happened to bring the right amount to do himself in, without it getting botched up before he could use it (since it was no longer on a roll)??? Something fishy there...
