Why did the demoniac live amongst the tombs?

Mark 5:3 (ESV)

3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,

It seems as if the demons drove him there. Symbolically, the devil brought him into fellowship with the dead, whereas Jesus will bring him into fellowship with the living.
