Bill Sparkman: Census Worker's Death An Insurance Scam?

Talk about another shoe dropping, geez.

Dang, those Right Wing fanatics will stop at nothing in the pursuit of profits. No wonder capitalism is dying! And why has the Left stopped paying attention to this story? Don't they actually want to get to the bottom of it after having used up a political non-talking point? Don't they actually care about Census workers? Who would have guessed?

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A census taker found hanging from a tree had named his son as his life insurance beneficiary, and investigators are looking into whether the father manipulated the death scene to make a claim possible, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press Thursday.
 
In an interview with AP, Josh Sparkman said he found paperwork for the private life insurance policy among his father, Bill Sparkman's, personal files but wasn't sure of the amount or when it was taken out. He said authorities have told him nothing about the case or produced a death certificate, which is usually needed to make an insurance claim.

Two law enforcement sources, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the case, said investigators are trying to determine if Bill Sparkman manipulated the death scene, so his son could collect.

I guess he got tired of paying those premiums. It should have been a clue that it was suicide when they didn't announce that someone else's fingerprints were found on the tape.

That's strange that the main stream media has not followed up. I was wondering how this case would be resolved.

I'm of course assuming that mr. Sparkman was a lefty. Odd how they hate insurance companies until they think they can steal from one. Killing yourself usually makes the contract null and void if done within two years of the inception date.

I miss all those trolls who invaded your site shortly after this story broke.

I wonder why they don't show up more anymore.

Gee, it always raises a red flag in my mind when the beneficiary is the one who happens to find the policy and who casually mentions that the death cert is overdue....

I want to see the left spin this...
