Hospital Worker -- Carradine Suffocated

David Carradine's official cause of death will be listed as suffocation, according to a hospital staffer in Bangkok.

The staffer, who was present when the autopsy was conducted, also says there were no other bruises or marks on Carradine's body besides the ones on his neck.

That would support the theory that the actor's death was not the result of foul play.

Posted at 10:47AM on Jun 6th 2009 by he will be missed

2. The family is doing the right thing in asking for the FBI to get involved. There is also conficting reports that he had or did not have his hands tied behind his back.....Either way, this is really sad.

3. It's called "Autoerotic Asphyxiation" people! Michael Hutchence of INXS? Back in the day? Same old, same old. Look it up!

5. If his hands were tied behind his back...and the genitals...and the neck..etc. There was no forced entry...I am not being disrespectful, but maybe he hired a prostitute and was doing some kinky stuff and it went awry??? This seems like the only logical answer if his genitals were tied up and his hands were tied up too?? There would be no signs of forced entry...etc.

7. His family is in denial and grasping at straws, trying to blame someone, anyone, rathr than seeing the obvious - his kinky little habit, perfected over many years, killed him.

He tied a noose around his neck and genitals and was able to stimulate himself by moving his head, with his hands tied.
He either came too hard or his age slowed his reflexes,so he was not able to untie himself and he suffocated.

Apparently the exwife is smarter than the rest of his family,since she pointed out in divorce papers that he had a "potentially lethal habit".
Well, she was right.

8. FIRST OF ALL I WANNA SAY, GOD REST HIS SOUL. I BELIEVE AND THIS IS MY OWN OPINION IS THAT THE THAILAND GOV'T KILLED HIM. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT DAVID WOULD NEVER TAKE HIS OWN LIFE. EVERYTHING IN HIS LIFE WAS GOING SO WELL, ACTING WISE. THATS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF. David Caradine was killed by the thailand government.

10.
just a few points

he had his hands tied
he was in a small closet
thais insult murder victims by leaving the body fully or partially naked many murder victims over here are left naked to add insult to the murder
bangkok has become the foreign suicide capital of the world well that is what the thai police would have you believe
thais are some of the most corrupt and xenaphobic people you can come across

make up your own minds but if you do not live here you will not undestand

11. The only ones claiming his hands were tied behind his back are his agent and family, the ME and the police are not saying that. Sorry folks the family is desperately tring to save his name by making this look like foul play, instead of a stupid accident.

13. We humans are such weak willed little pleasure monkeys it seems. Some more than others. We all know the dangerous effects of illegal drugs as well as drugs like tobacco and coffee and yet, we do it because of that never ending quest to feel better or escape. Is it really THAT important to get a better orgasm at 72 years old yet? Why not settle for more frequent, normal sex or masturbation and or less frequent so there is more sensitivity?

I just don't get humans sometimes.
