Since the search feature has been revamped to become even MORE counterproductive, I can't bump any earlier threads on this.

Remember the guy found hung to a tree with "fed" scrawled on his chest? Turns out it WAS suicide.

I really thought he was killed, because I tend to believe the worst in humanity.

I hadn't heard of this until just now. It's terrible.

Weird. It was actually posted on that thread ages ago that it was a suicide. I'm sure I read it here, but I can't find it either. Maybe they deleted the thread?

I have to admire the guy- if you are going to commit suicide (And you shouldn't) you might as well do it in a way that implicates horrible behavior by people you hate. It's a two-fer.

"Adams said Sparkman, who once had lymphoma, preferred to kill himself rather than to die from cancer."

"An autopsy found that Sparkman was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of his death. It also found that Sparkman did not have cancer."

I wonder if he thought he had cancer due to a misdiagnosis?

Or due to the fact that he was clearly insane?

"Or due to the fact that he was clearly insane?"

That was my first reaction as well.
