(AP) A U.S. census worker found naked, bound with duct tape and hanging from a tree with "fed" scrawled on his chest killed himself but staged his death to make it look like a homicide, authorities said Tuesday.
Bill Sparkman, 51, was found strangled Sept. 12 with a rope around his neck near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of the Daniel Boone National Forest in southeastern Kentucky. Authorities said his wrists were loosely bound, his glasses were taped to his head and he was gagged.
Kentucky State Police Capt. Lisa Rudzinski said an analysis found that "fed" was written "from the bottom up." He was touching the ground, and to survive "all Mr. Sparkman had to do at any time was stand up," she said.

Dead giveaway, so to speak. ;-)
Not a very nice man. Tried to bilk the insurance company and tried to make it look like “right-wing, Anti-0bama extremists” did it. Nope, not a nice man at all...a liar and a cheater.....and a federal worker.
The lefties in the press of course spun the story that right wingers did him in. I doubt we will see any retractions.
Good luck finding this story above the fold anywhere.
Actually I’ve seen it prominently on Fox tonight and the local tv news.
Quite surprising to me.
Slow News day
Slow noose day

non-political, no political add'ys
I thought it was those crazy right wing extremists over in Eastern KY. ;0)
Good for this guy. He was a leftist punk who finally acted on his liberal self-loathing and killed himself. Most liberals try to kill the rest of us through their inane schemes. What a total loser.
I don’t know all the facts of this case; however, Mr Sparkman clearly behaved stupidly...
I saw people here saying that ring-wingers did him in.
@ least He "offed" himself & didn't take anyone else.
