The FBI is investigating the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery, and a law enforcement official told The Associated Press the word 'fed" was scrawled on the dead man's chest.

If it is what it looks like, I guess we can chalk this one up to the hate speech of Michelle Bachmann and her ilk.

Census workers don't deserve that.

should have been doing that to congress men and women a long time ago though.

If you read the story they are unsure as to wether or not this was homicide or suicide so the jury is still out.

Looks like a textbook lynching. If I were to hang myself, I wouldn't go writing "subsimmer" on my chest before I did.

It looks like a lynching indeed, but weirder suicides have happened. Don't consider it a likely scenario, but it is a possibility.

You have this text book? From what I understand he was in a neigborhood that has meth labs and other assorted drug activity. Fed comes to your door as you are making you meth what would you do?

It could be a suicide. Maybe he was writing "fed up" and just didn't quite finish.....

I lean towards AVG's spin on it.

More time will tell. This one will be heavily investigated is my bet.

Hang him in the woods and write "FED" on the body.

its all in the text book... "Lynchings from A to Z" chapter 4 i believe covers this topic very specifically.

Sure sounds relevent. Come on, man shows flashing a government ID. Here I am making my meth brew in the livingroom.....inviting him in for a sandwich is not happening. Something else needs to happen. It could also be a way of throwing authorities off the track by putting FED on his chest.

Forensic's will examine that body from hair root to toe jam.

Facts we don't know and won't be made public for obvious reasons.

Were the hands tied in front or behind the back or at all ?

Any brusing behind and ear or about the head to bring on unconsienceness ?

Were there personal probs at home ?

Alot we are nor privey to.

The investigation has just started.

True. Was there a chair under him? Ladder? Other shoe prints? If his hands were tied then suicide would be under great scrutiny. Welcome to the 'sketchy at best' reporting so far. I guess that is why the media always say...developing.
