R.I.P.
David Carradine's Rep: Death Was 'Accidental'

Posted Jun 4th 2009 3:06PM by TMZ Staff

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."

61. BRUCE LEE is somewhere laughing his ass off now I'm sure now because David took his role in Kung Fu.

62. To Doja:

Ever heard of auto-erotic asphyxiation? Kills many annually...

63. Auto-erotic asphyxiation is a fairly common form of sexual arousal. Whether or not he died doing it, it isn't an abnormality at all. As Americans, we love sex, yet somehow associate anything sexual with shame. Adding a belt to the bedroom could be compared to adding mustard to a burger. No big deal. People should get over the negative connotations of sex and learn that it's just a sport, and all for fun. So long as everyone involved in the sexual activity consents there will be no harm done.

64. Notice the phrase "other parts of his body" is in quotations...
They're talking about his penis. Now imagine tying a rope around your neck AND penis... and then trying to self- asphyxiate yourself in order to ... well you know. Must have learned that move from Quentin.

66. SUMMER: Yes they DID find evidence to prove that Michael Hutchence did actually go the naughty way out like young Mr. Carradine...

They found LOTS of evidence in the hotel room - I'm aussie, trust me it was on the news for a LONG time ;)

67. BREAKING ENTERTAINMENT NEWS--- ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS----

Carradine's death has quickly gone from tragic to comic...He won't let this event slow him down, however. David's just signed on to star in Weekend At Bernies 4 - Thai A Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Guy's Neck and Death Race 2009 (The entire movie takes place in a closet)
In Death Race 2009 all of David's male co-stars are homosexuals who refuse to come out...

68. My sister "hung" herself in a closet, and it wasn't auto whatever--it was sucide. It is sad to know, but I am not ashamed or embarrassed to say she took her own life--it's a fact. Depression is terrible. It killed my sweet, beautiful sister.

69. Hey it was thailand. Maybe he had some gal up there and she got him to try something different.

70. I had this happen to a relative of 16 years old. It happens. I hate to say, but #53, you are a sick mf and I'm laughing my ass off! #52 might be on to something. If you're that old and famous, why do it yourself?

71. This just in...Todd42

Strangling yourself with a belt or rope isn't sex ... it's deranged behavior... bending a sweet plum over and drilling for oil is sex... and we American Boys ain't got no problem talkin' 'bout dat.
Get some help before you're found swingin' from a Hat Rack.

74. The hotel reportede that the maid found him hanging by the neck with a cord that had been removed from the drapes in his room. His room was locked from the inside so foul play has been ruled out. He was a third rate actor who has had an on again off again career. He admitted to addiction to booze and drugs in the past. Clearly a suicide.

75. poopyhead...

If tying a rope around your neck and strangling yourself in a Thai Hotel Closet to get yer rocks off gets you into Hell... then please... put me down for two tickets.
