| Kentucky man supposedly murdered is apparent suicide
Quote:
A Kentucky 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 Sept. 12 near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of southeastern Kentucky. A man who found the body in the Daniel Boone National Forest has said Sparkman also was gagged and had an identification badge taped to his neck.
...
Sparkman had recently taken out two life insurance policies that would not pay out for suicide, authorities said. If Sparkman had been killed on the job, his family also would have been be eligible for up to $10,000 in death gratuity payments from the government.

^ It's more than likely he's about to lose his job. Knowing full well he wouldn't find a new job; the dude decided to take a life insurance policy to take care of his family. Now the family is stuck without anything. damn.

i think they just couldnt find any substantial clues so they just pegged it a suicide..
his wife could have taken out a life insurance policy for him and had him killed etc etc

He should have got a different policy and waited. My policy will pay out if I off myself but that part didn't kick in until I owned it for 2 years. So now I'm free to off myself and still get paid out.
