Hanged census worker's body released

The body of a census worker who was found hanged in rural eastern Kentucky has been released to his family. A family visiting a Clay County cemetery found Bill Sparkman on September 12th with a rope around his neck, his hands and feet bound and the word "fed" scrawled across his chest. The state medical examiner's office established the cause of death as asphyxiation. His son investigators are still telling him little about the case.
