on this BBC link this morning. The article went from saying
BBC changed it TO This:
could be a possible erotic asphyxiation :shrug:
Whatever the outcome of the investigation, it goes down as some weird shit in my book!
Ugh!

well i thought that was extremely dissapointing, it is hard to believe that it might be an accidential manslaughter as in Jro suggested it's some sex-asphyxiation kinky stuff gone wrong and the prostitute got freaked out and ran away. But at same time i find it still harder to believe Mr Carradine would get this low to do such a thing as being a highly accomplished star/martial artist, something had went seriously wrong that it is actually easier to believe it could be a murder more than anything, and using this 'freak occurance of being naked' as a very good distraction, a ploy causing wild guesses which is exactly what is happening now. Kudos to David Carridine, as a fine actor and probably a significant figure in the martial arts world as some form of usher in the mould as an entertainer from Hollywood.
its just too bizzare to have him ending his own life like this, just maybe, just maybe it is possible that he was confronted by a figure whom is known to an associate responsible for Bruce Lee's death, who knows? we'd never know.

If this happened to a random stranger in Thailand, we wouldn't be discussing this at all.
Isn't this ironic we protest that others judge us yet we find it too easy to judge David Carradine because of his career or his sexual preferences/lifestyle?

He should use Seppuku. That's real honor.

Suicide is awful regardless of how it happens.

It sounds like autoerotic asphyxiation. If confirmed, what an embarrassing way to die. This is similar to Michael Hutchinson's case.
This is an unfortunate situation. Thai Police did not have to release all the unnecessary details of his death. His poor family has to deal with the humiliation of this. The most important thing to focus is he shall be remembered for his acting career. Just saying.

Thai cops: Carradine's death may be accidental
Officials: 'Kill Bill' star found in closet with ropes tied around neck,
genitals
BANGKOK - The body of American actor David Carradine, best known for the 1970s TV series “Kung Fu,” was found in a hotel room closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals, and his death may have been caused by 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 and authorities later said no suicide note was found in his room.
Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his genitals 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.”
Thai police completed an autopsy on Carradine on Friday. But Police Col. Somprasong Yenthuam, superintendent of the Lumpini police station, which is handling the case, said results would not be ready for at least three weeks because the cause of death was unclear. He called the time lag “normal.”
Dr. Nanthana Sirisap, director of Chulalongkorn Hospital’s Autopsy Center, told reporters that the autopsy was conducted because of the “unusual circumstances surrounding Carradine’s death,” but did not elaborate.
The body was later removed from the hospital to an undisclosed location by U.S. Embassy representatives while preparations were being made for its repatriation to the United States.
Police Lt. Teerapop Luanseng had said Thursday that Carradine’s body was found “naked, hanging in a closet,” and that police at the time suspected suicide.
But one of Carradine’s managers dismissed the theory.
‘That’s not something David would ever do’
“All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide,” said Tiffany Smith of Binder & Associates, his management company. “We’re just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give ... and that’s not something David would ever do to himself.”
Pornthip Rojanasunand, director of Thailand’s Central Institute of Forensic Science, said Carradine may have died attempting a sex act known as auto-erotic asphyxiation — cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal.
The practice is said to result in a form of giddiness and euphoria — similar to alcohol or drug intoxication — that enhances the sexual experience.
“If you hang yourself by the neck, you don’t need so much pressure to kill yourself. Those who get highly sexually aroused tend to forget this fact,” Pornthip said.
Carradine had flown to Thailand last week and began work on a film titled “Stretch” two days before his death, Smith said. He had several other projects lined up after the action film, which was being directed by Charles De Meaux.
Carradine was in good spirits when he left the U.S. for Thailand on May 29 to work on “Stretch,” Smith said.
“David was excited to do it and excited to be a part of it,” she said by phone from Beverly Hills.
Film colleagues ‘clearly shocked’
Filming began Tuesday, she said, adding that the crew was devastated by Carradine’s death and did not wish to speak publicly about it for the time being.
Monica Donati, a spokesman for the French film company MK2, which was making “Stretch,” said in statement from Paris that the film crew in Bangkok was “clearly shocked” by Carradine’s death but would finish shooting. Carradine only had three more days of filming left in Bangkok, she said.
Aurelio Giraudo, the hotel’s general manager, said Carradine checked into the hotel May 31 and he last saw him June 3. He said Carradine chatted with staff and even played piano a few nights in the lobby as well as flute which the “guests really enjoyed.”
“I was a fan. I had a very nice talk with him when he checked in,” Giraudo told The Associated Press. “He was very much a person full of life. I mentioned to him that I had seen (the movie) “Crank” with my family and that was the last smile he gave me.”
Giraudo said a chambermaid discovered Carradine’s body, adding that she knocked and entered after there was no response. Police arrived shortly thereafter.
Somprasong said there was no evidence there was anyone else in the room at the time of Carradine’s death.
Carradine, a martial arts practitioner himself, was best known for the U.S. TV series “Kung Fu,” which aired in 1972-75. He played Kwai Chang Caine, an orphan who was raised by Shaolin monks and fled China after killing the emperor’s nephew in retaliation for the murder of his kung fu master.
Carradine also appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby.
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga “Kill Bill.” Bill, the worldly father figure of a pack of crack assassins, was a shadowy presence in 2003’s “Kill Bill — Vol. 1.” In that film, one of Bill’s former assassins (Uma Thurman) begins a vengeful rampage against her old associates, including Bill.

I would agree with police´s theory that it´s accident by sexual play, not suicide. I don´t beleive that he would do that to his last wife and 3 small children.
Accord TV, I saw yesterday...
The 2 ropes tied around his neck and penis. We beleive that something do with sexually desire. They suspect that he got heart attack while he got orgsam.
Wait and see what the autopy say.
