Hatfield’s body was found at about 6:30 a.m. May 23, over a hill by a river bank at the cemetery in Maher, outside Williamson.

Police said they believe Hatfield, a longtime coal company executive, was shot in the back the day before while he cleaned an in-law’s grave marker. He already had cleaned the grave of his late wife, Debbie, who died of breast cancer in 2009.

After Hatfield was shot, he was able to make it about 50 to 60 yards away, to the edge of the Tug Fork River, where he collapsed and died.
