Hospital Worker -- Carradine Suffocated

31. That does not support that there wasn't foul play. David was very much into researching Secret Societies in the Martial Arts field. Thailand is a hot spot for those and with the info from his 3rd divorce on public record it easily could have been made to look like he was doing something like self gratification in that way. It is a possiblity this is why the hotel was extra slow in handing over the surveillance video to cops. The FBI is now involved thanks to Keith Carradine and the rest of the family so you have to check everything out before coming to conclusions. Shame on you TMZ for reporting that heresay..you know better.

32. "3. 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."

J, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, where would someone ever in a million years find a prostitute in Bangkok?

33. I wish someone could find one report where officials say his hands were tied behind his back. The rope was around his wrist. How else are you going to control blood flow to the brain without letting go of the rope?

34. Get your story straight Hello?!! (post #28). NO ONE except his agent and family have said his hands were tied behind his back. They are obviously trying to preserve his dignity and avoid embarrassment by grasping at straws instead of facing the truth that he died accidentally from auto-erotic asphyxiation. While I cannot understand this lifestyle, many do this kind of thing, as is their right. Apparently he has been doing this for a long time and had to know of the danger involved. He was a great man and actor and should be remembered as such, regardless of how he died.

35. see this article then "Come" to your own conclusion.....Time for a walk on the weird side, kids. Autoerotic asphyxiation--"suicide" is a misnomer, since death is usually accidental--is in fact fairly common. One researcher estimates there are at least 50 deaths annually nationwide. The victims are mostly young males; evidently if you live long enough to become an old male you start getting a partner to help you, although it's quite dangerous even so.

Autoerotic asphyxiation arose out of the observation that men executed by hanging often got an erection and sometimes ejaculated. It's described in detail in de Sade's Justine and is mentioned in Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Why it works is unclear. The simplest explanation is that lack of oxygen causes lightheadedness, reducing inhibitions and enhancing the sexual experience. Masochistic fantasies, castration anxiety, and other psychological factors no doubt also play a role.

The problem is that it's easy to go too far. As little as seven pounds of pressure will collapse the carotid artery, producing unconsciousness within seconds. Many victims are bondage freaks and their elaborate bindings make self-rescue difficult.

36. Dont' waste FBI with this nonsence. He died playing a sex game. No murder. No foul play. You play with fire you get burned. He got burned. How embarassing for his family and children that daddy was a weirdo sex freak. What ever. Move on. He died playing sex games. Loser.

37. Check out the Netflix listing for David Carradine. Seems like he was
involved in the movie My Suicide....strange twist to this tale.

My Suicide (2008)
Buster's Class Project

After declaring that he's going to film himself committing suicide
for a school project, Archie (Gabriel Sunday) videotapes his
surprising interactions with worried family members, interested
classmates, unreliable medical experts and the hottest girl in school
(Brooke Nevin). A truthful look into the hearts and minds of
modern-day teenagers, this dark comedy features appearances by David
Carradine, Mariel Hemingway and Harry Shearer.

38. What about bruises on his throbbing meat thermometer? News reports listed his genitals as the other area they found bound with rope. Rumor has it Carradine was so hung, that he needed to keep the trouser monster permanently tied up to keep it from escaping out from the bottom of his pant leg.

39. As far as all the evidence of foul play- Remember Einstein's Theory: "There is no such thing as coincidences"

"COINCIDENCES"

1. He was into researching Secret Societies- Thailand is a hotbed. 2. His hands were tied behind his back. He was too old to have withstood this physically before this, (it would have caused a blood brain clot- not simple asphyxiation) 3. He was prob very tipsy- from experience- anyone can catch someone off their guard- and no- you can't fight when your passed out, geniuses. 4. There was a man's footprint on the bed that did not match his, (prob. while the perpetrator was taking his clothes off to stage the suicide) 5. When you "disgrace" certain organizations, you will be killed in the most humiliating fashion. (In Vegas, in the 60's, they would cut off the man's appendage and tape it in his mouth before they would lock him into a trunk, so when they found the body, he would be thoroughly disgraced) 6. Officials will not procure the tapes 7. Thailand is not the suicide capital of the world for travelers, it is the murder capital of the world- call it what it is 8. If he had someone to deliberately perform this act on him, he would not need the ropes!! 9. You can bet if the authorities felt like they weren't hiding anything, they would instantly procure a "patsy" , but it would too easily found out, and the authorities are SCARED 10. Nobody that has 4 + pictures in the works, and a more promising career than ever kills himself for insurance money (which doesn't pay on suicides) 11. The communist Chinese gvmt, and the Triad were as thrilled about his peaceful rendition of Martial Arts as they were Bruce Lee's, and Brandon Lee's, for that matter
I know the basic human nature can be twisted- but it is not showing him as twisted, but some of the twisted simpleton posters with no regard for fact over fiction.

40. Ok, on an autopsy report there is cause of death, which apparently is suffocation. That's pretty much common sense if you die from a rope hanging. But what about the manner of death? If his hands were tied behind his back, the obviously conclusion would be homicide and not suicide. However, the manner has not been revealed yet.

41. Carmen, even if he was playing a sex game someone else had to be involved if his hands were tied. So someone bound his hands and then.. what? passed out to find him dead? oops! just walked away? oops! The point is, it doesn't matter if he was playing a sex game or not, if someone else is involved - they need to be held accountable for their inaction leading to his death. I declare you a loser because you have a brain yet you do not use it. ZING!

42. The only person saying his hands were tied behind his back was his publicist. If any of you morons bothered to do some research on your own, you'd know that in cases of AEA, a slipknot is made and tied to a hand in case things go wrong. Apparently it didn't work this time, as happens in many cases. I swear you fools look for conspiracies everywhere, no wonder this country is so screwed up.

43. for the seven millionth time learn to read people the ONLY bruising was on his neck and the ONLY people saying his hands were tied are his family and his agent The Police and medical examiner are not saying it. Sorry but this is just a idiotic accident, So to reitorate THERE HAS BEEN NO STATEMENT FROM THE AUTHORITIES (THAT WERE ACTUALLY THERE) THAT HIS HANDS WERE TIED THE ONLY PEOPLE SAYING HIS HANDS WERE TIED WERE NOT EVEN THERE

44. I can say one more thing- If there was a prostitute in the room, or a woman, he would not have had his wallet afterwards! It's going to start to get even more obvious, b*tches! (not one person commenting in a negative fashion towards him without the full story has been to Thailand, or understands the corruption involved.) But I guess some of you guys do diddle alot, that is why you insist on believing this is from his had- because if you think this isn't a cover up and a homicide, your brain has left the building.... (and btw- you better pray nobody ever decides to target you or your family in such a horrific manner- you will have to remember this unleashing of evil on this peaceful man, despite all contrary evidence+ nobody will believe you= this will be your fate)
He is in peace, some of you guys are straight jacked
