Carradine's Rep -- David's Hands Were Tied

David CarradineNow we know why David Carradine's family thinks foul play may have been involved in the actors death -- his manager tells us Carradine was found with his hands tied behind his back.

Chuck Binder, Carradine's manager, tells us he firmly believes Carradine did not take his own life -- nor does he think David died accidentally. Binder says the family has been told Carradine's hands were immobilized by the rope.

Carradine was found by a hotel maid Thursday morning with a rope tied around his neck and another around his genitals in a Bangkok hotel room.

UPDATE: Thai police are now recognizing David's death may not have been a suicide, by saying, "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or [whether] he died of suffocation or heart failure." Police say he could have died from an "accidental suffocation."

UPDATE: We've been told by the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok that David's body was shipped back to the States Friday evening (Thailand is 14 hours ahead of PST).

22. The QUESTION is... what was on the foot that left a print on the bed? Dirt? Liquid? Blood?
Was the footprint Male or Female? Was it fresh or stale?
I guess what I'm getting at is... was it OJ's?

25. I told you yesterday. Asian hookers will go back to your room for an apple and a Snickers bar. Carradine tried his Kung Fu moves on them when they tried to roll him and he wound up in the closet with a rope around his neck and his schween.
