Officials release body of hanged Kentucky census worker
http://www.wkyt.com/wymtnews/headlines/63625277.html

LONDON, Ky. (AP) - Authorities have released the body of a
part-time census worker found in a remote Appalachian forest nearly
a month ago with a rope around his neck and "fed" scrawled across
his chest, but they still will not say if someone killed him.

Josh Sparkman told The Associated Press on Tuesday that
investigators released his father's body Monday to the Cremation
Society of Kentucky.

Bill Sparkman, a substitute teacher, had wanted his body either
donated to science or cremated. Authorities advised Josh Sparkman
to choose the latter option and not have the family view the body
because of its condition.

The state medical examiner's office has established the cause of
death as asphyxiation but has not determined whether it was a
homicide, accident or suicide.

Mike Wilder, executive director of the State Medical Examiner's
Office, said the investigation continues, with "bits and pieces of
information" still coming to light.

There were "circumstances" that made the Sparkman case
particularly difficult to resolve, but Wilder declined to
elaborate.

"The cause of death was pretty well determined. The manner of
death is still what is under investigation," Wilder said.
