RIP David Carradine

[Cybrludite]

Either a suicide or auto-erotic asphixiation gone wrong. Either way, not how I'd have expected him to go.

I just saw a story about that. It said he was hanged with the cord from the curtains in the hotel room, with no sign of assault. Maybe it will turn out he had cancer or something and decided not to drag things out.

early news stories said that the rope was around his nether regions... later ones only say "additional body parts"

Dang, that sounds painful and I would hope not self-inflicted.

yet more proof that you shouldn't trust 15 year old Thai prostitutes...

The death of American actor David Carradine may have been accidental suffocation, Thai police said Friday.

The 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially said they suspected suicide, though Carradine's associates had questioned that theory.


Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope "tied around his penis and another rope around his neck."
"The two ropes were tied together," he said. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure due to an orgasm.
