David Carradine Did Not Commit Suicide, Expert Says

A family hired forensics expert said today that he believed David Carradine's death was not a suicide, but the cause of death could not determined until he received more information from Thai authorities, the Associated Press reported today. Carradine was found hanging dead last week, with ropes tied around his neck, wrists and genitals, in a Bangkok hotel. Thai officials original suspected suicide, but later said it could have been accidental, too, because the way he was found indicated a possible act of auto-erotic asphyxiation. It could be a few weeks before the private forensics expert receives more information from Thailand so he can complete his report.

poor guy. what a way to go!

Hasn't everyone pretty much agreed that it was likely accidental during auto-erotic asphyxiation? I would expect the family to want this to fade away, rather than keep publicly dissecting it.

What an embarrassing way to die.

well, presumably, at least he died happy...

Why can't people just beat off to some very low resolution internet porn and get on with life? No need for ropes or anything. Just a computer and an internet connection. Maybe some lubricant.
