Coroner: Census worker died at tree in Ky. forest

By JEFFREY McMURRAY (AP) – 17 hours ago

LEXINGTON, Ky. — A part-time census taker died at the tree in a Kentucky forest where his body was found with a rope around his neck and the word "fed" scrawled on his chest, officials said Wednesday.

The naked body of Bill Sparkman, 51, was found hanging from the tree yet in contact with the ground in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest on Sept. 12. Authorities had previously not said whether Sparkman died there or elsewhere and then taken to the secluded area near a family cemetery in rural southeast Kentucky.

Clay County Coroner Jim Trosper and state medical examiner executive director Mike Wilder confirmed the death location to The Associated Press, but gave no other details.

Authorities have kept a tight lid on the investigation into the death of the teacher and part-time census worker. They have confirmed asphyxiation caused his death, but Wilder said a manner of death still couldn't be determined until the investigation is complete. Homicide, suicide and an accident were all being considered, he said.
