David Carradine's Rep: Death Was 'Accidental'

We just spoke to a rep for David Carradine, who claims the actor's death was not a suicide.

The rep said David's death was "accidental." And there's this ... the BBC is now reporting that David's body was found hanging with a rope around his neck and "other parts of his body."

Carradine's body was found nude, hanging in a closet.

David's rep added, "We can confirm 100% that he never would have committed suicide. It was an accidental death. Everybody is in shock."

16. Michael Hutcenson sp? from INXS died the same way...but anyone that needs to go to that extreme to get pleasure is probably a little off anyways. I just don't know why his rep is speaking so soon and saying it's NOT a suicide. This is the problem with society and suicide, people are afraid to talk about it or admit they have lost someone to it My children lost their father to suicide and we talk about it and accept it. People kill themselves everyday. Everyone should wait until everything is known.

17. Um, while this is tragic I have to ask - how stupid do they think people are? How does one 'accidently' hang themselves with a rope in a hotel closet? There has never been any rope in any hotels I've been in - of course, there also has never been a closet tall enough to hang yourself from either.

18. Carradine is the family curse?!
I think that watching this movie, you will be able to understand why it happened.
See the interview:Carradine-film

19. how is it an accident if he was found hanging in a closet? I know its very difficult for people to accept that someone would take their own life, but how else would he be like that in the closet? Doesnt make sense if you ask me.

20. I liked David Carradine and was sad to hear about his passing. I mean, I'm sure most people have done some freaky stuff, but to be found naked in a closet with rope tied around your neck and "other body parts"...I don't know, man. Weird. The fact that he was well-known has nothing to do with it. It's better for his Rep to tell the truth because sooner or later, the truth always comes out. For me, it doesn't matter anyway. It doesn't change my impression of him at all.

28. Oh, please! How do you accidentally hang yourself yourself in a hotel closet while nude? Suicide is a coward's way out.

29. I agree with those saying death by auto-erotic asphyxiation.

I absolutely love that biopic movie Bound For Glory in which he played Woody Guthrie. I tripped out when he did both Kung Fu and Kung Fu The Legend Continues because he has a strangely Asian look about him.

I noticed that articles that first broke out with this story are now including a suicide fixation bent. I'm so disgusted. Leave this hard working man and his family alone, already. Let him RiP regardless of what led up to his unjustly and untimely demise.

30. My guess is the rep is aware that he's done this before (autoerotic asphyxiation) so the assumption is naturally that it was an accident
