MANCHESTER, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky State Police say a U.S. Census
worker found dead near an eastern Kentucky cemetery died of
asphyxiation.
The body of 51-year-old William E. Sparkman was found in rural
Clay County on Sept. 12. State police said in a statement Thursday
that Sparkman was found with a rope around his neck that was tied
to a tree, but that his body "was in contact with the ground."
A law enforcement source previously told The Associated Press
that he was found with the word "fed" scrawled on his chest. The
FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government
sentiment.
State police have not yet been able to determine whether the
death was a homicide or suicide.

This is obviously murder.
Hey Mich098 from Texas. Maybe the killer has been listening to Bill Ayers and his theory to blow up federal buildings and destroy public property no matter who you hurt. Good old Bill help kill a cop in NY and got away with it. Is he one of those right wingers you talk about that clings to his bomb making materials??? Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972. Much of the controversy about Ayers during the decade since 2000 stems from an interview he gave to The New York Times on the occasion of the memoir's publication . The reporter quoted him as saying "I don't regret setting bombs" and "I feel we didn't do enough", and, when asked if he would "do it all again," as saying "I don't want to discount the possibility." Good Old Billy Ayers, right wing conspirator. Think about it!!!
This is a horrible thing that has happened. My heart goes out to this man and his family. I hate that something like this has yet again happened in Manchester. I hate that the people from Manchester are always labeled as uneducated hillbillies or druggies. I was born and raised there, and I have a four-year college degree, and a full time professional career. So no, not everyone is a doped up idiot like some people there. There are lots of good, honest people who live there, and it's a shame we are all labeled a certain way because of how SOME people choose to live their lives. Bad things happen everywhere, not just in Manchester.
