Census Worker Died From Asphyxiation
Preliminary autopsy results show asphyxiation caused the death of U.S. Census worker, 51 year old William Sparkman, whose body was found September 12th. at the Hoskins Cemetery in the Daniel Boone National Forest in southern Clay County, one day after his death on September 11th. Although he was found with a rope around his neck and attached to a tree, his body was in contact with the ground. It has been concluded Sparkman did not die as a result of natural causes, but FBI and KSP have not yet ruled whether the death resulted from homicide, accident or suicide.
