"hanging from a tree" was in your post: Then authorities revealed this week that a noose was found around his neck, and that he was hanging from a tree, his feet touching the ground.

One press report indicated that Sparkman’s feet were touching the ground when police found his body. “If his feet were touching and he was hanging from a limb, you’d want to know if it was a broken limb or if the rope slipped,” the investigator continued, saying, “if it appeared his feet were touching when he was tied, it would make you start to think.” The investigator suggested reporters research the death of David Carradine, an actor whose body was found bound in a closet following death by apparent autoerotic asphyxiation. ...... thetimestribune.com Associated Pravda also butchered comments of a cook at a local restaurant, falsely presenting them as an example of hatred for the federal government. Looks like reporters were eager for a narrative of a census worker murdered by crazed rightwing hillbillies egged on Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Bachman.
