Carradine's Family Asks For FBI Support

Posted Jun 6th 2009 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

David CarradineThe suspicious circumstances revolving around the death of David Carradine are being asked to be investigated by the FBI by the late actor's family.

David's family wants the FBI to step in, in part because of reports of how the actor was found in his hotel room. The family hopes that with the FBI aiding Thailand police with their investigation, more concrete answers surrounding his cause of death may be located.

Although at first ruled as a suicide, additional evidence may suggest an alternative explanation. According to David's manager, the actor was found with his hands tied behind his back.

As of now, Thai cops have not been contacted by the FBI.

16. Well I guess choking the chicken will now be referred to as "choking the Carradine"

17. i am thinking the speculation/preliminary reports that david carradine died of autoerotic asphyxiation is just a cover-up for the first death by a possible new pandemic scare of "kung flu" ..........

18. I keep saying he died for his family Annie and her kids, not grubbing wives who tore is life apart. That's why his is dead. He needed money, read Fox News story about family getting FBI involved... It talks about him needing cash. He was messed up and that movie he was doing was no "A" list either. He knew what he was doing. He knew! HE FAKED IT AND MADE IT LOOK ACCIDENTAL. HE WAS NOT A SEX FIEND. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND KIDS... HE DIED BY HIS OWN HAND...

19. As a kid who was always in hospitals (from 1974-1982), one thing I had to look foreword was making sure i watched every episode of Kung Fu. Mr Carradine's death was a big shock to me when I first saw it on Fox News Website. My thoughts and Prayers go out to him and his family.

As for the FBI investigating this death... If it were my family member found dead ANYWHERE in Southeast Asia, I'd want the FBI investigating INSTEAD of local police. I know that's not usually possible, so the best I could hope for was, the FBI be involved in a major way, letting the Thai police THINK they're in charge (its actually not that hard to pull off). If i had to compare the professionalism of Thai police to the FBI, I'd have to say, Mayberry RFD (If your old enough to remember it) being run by Al Capone & his henchmen (Thai) verses the series with Kiefer Sutherland- 24 hours. Comparing Apples to Oranges.

20. If he was found with his habds tied behind his back, it would have been too hard for David to have tied his own hands, This was obviously not a suicide, especailly since carradine was found withe his genitals tied, This was no doubt a sex gane. Erotic auto asphyxiation is a damned dangerous, deadly thing to do. what a pitiful way to die. I am sorry for him.

21. Why would my tax money support this case? Well, FBI will have fun on this one.... Fishnet... black wig.... bound peepee

Many Carradines in our society are a danger to children. At least, no Thai child is victim.

22. I am rather sick of some of the ugly things deing said about Carradine in these comment sections. Yes, he did something that was not right. Auto erotic asphyxiation is dangerous, and no one should do it. However, the man is dead. amd some respect needs to be shown him. He was not a child molestor, not a rapist. he did something in private, whether alone or with a hooker. that was his business. I met him at a booksigning he did in Los Angeles in 1995. I am sad for his death. God bless David and his family.
