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.

46. There would not just be bruising around the neck if this were what it appears on first inspection. There would be broken capillaries and blood vessels in other places as well- like his wrists, and those "other" areas. I know you guys aren't pre-med, but I know you've had to have taken anatomy and physiology in high school or college. That rope was tied around his ******* and wrists postmortem. He was probably attacked from behind, around his neck with the same rope used in the staging, in the hall going entering his room with the key, like oh- a billion other cases of robbery, rape, and theft, and then he was dragged into the room- which was immaculate....(no sign of struggle) Then the staging....

47. Participants of AEA like to masturbate and ejaculate just before unconsciousness, that's the entire point of it. Kinda hard to do that with your hands tied up dumbass. This country (and you're assuming everyone posting here is from YOUR country) is screwed up because people do not use their brains and they latch on to the first theory THEY think is right. It's the ME ME ME mentality. How do you know what his publicist said is NOT true? You don't. Have you ever been to Thailand? Don't think for a second that country wouldn't spin it to deflect from a possible murder of a popular American actor on their soil. 7 billion is spent on tourism in Thailand. Nah, that wouldn't hurt tourism. How does it feel to be an idiot? I've always wanted to know and now I've found someone that can enlighten me.

48. Since he was into this pervie behavior and a shriveled up 72 year old prune, his "throbbing meat thermometer" probably didn't even work without a double dose of Viagra......that's why he was alone. What good would a woman do the old coot?

49. i bet that because of the notice that this gets, there will be many who try this practice. a perversion or just another way to get high, it's up to the individual whatever they want to do. But now more will try and more will meet the likely consequence probably. shame on us for judging what individuals want to do with their lives.

50. A call girl experienced in such practices could have been involved and fled when the event went bad. We'll never know because other countries handle evidence differently.

52. this kind of auto-pleasure is so dangerous. You don't know if you're cumming or going. Once he came out of the closet it was too late. Giggidy.

54. 41. 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.

What an unbelievable creep you are. You obviously know all about this deviant sexual behavior and call normal people who don't moron's? F*** off, you inbred scum.

55. The only people saying that his hands were tied, are his family and manager, who were not with him.
I believe his ex-wife. It was a kinky sex act that led to his suffocation.

The family is doing what comes natural to protect their loved one.

He was such a talented actor, hopefully he will be remembered for the great actor that he was, and not the manner in which he died.

57. I want to say, for those who are insisting that someone else would have had to have tied his hands behind his back (if his hands were indeed tied behind his back), it, in fact, is entirely possible to tie your own hands behind your back. Anyone into that sort of thing would sooner or later work out how--I speak from experience. (I'm not into the asphyxiation angle of it, but we all got our stuff that gets us going. It's a shame he died, but what he was doing, if it is in fact what he was doing, wasn't shameful.)
