UPDATE: Confirmed Suicide

Answers coming this afternoon at 2:00 PM:

Kentucky State Police Lt. David Jude says a news conference is set for 2 p.m. EST at the agency's crime lab.

Federal and state investigators who have been working the case since September haven't yet announced whether Bill Sparkman's death was a homicide, suicide or accident.

Sparkman's naked body was found Sept. 12 near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of southeastern Kentucky. One of the witnesses who found the body said the 51-year-old was bound with duct tape, gagged and had an identification badge taped to his neck.

Earlier this month, law enforcement officials were investigating whether Sparkman may have staged an elaborate suicide to appear like murder so his son could make a life insurance claim.

Shortly after news of Sparkman's death was reported left wing propagandists in the blogosphere and news media were quick to try to capitalize on his death, implying that it was the fault of conservative politicians, or anti-government paranoia from backwoods rubes.

Even early on most credible sources found it more likely that Sparkman might have stumbled across a drug operation or moonshiners than any anti-government group.

Unsupported lies, however, are for more useful for the left's agenda.

Update: Sparkman's death was confirmed to a be a suicide staged to look like murder. May God have mercy on his family and his troubled soul.
