Carradine Photo Reveals Fishnet Stocking

Posted Jun 7th 2009 5:00PM by TMZ Staff

David CarradineWe've just seen a higher resolution image of the photo that appears to be David Carradine's body hanging in his hotel room -- and it shows what seems consistent with an auto-erotica scenario ... at least from outward appearances.

The photo -- published by a Thai tabloid -- shows a body suspended from a bar in a closet, with his hands bound together above his head. Carradine's genitals were also tied.

But the new sharper image also reveals what appears to be fishnet stockings covering the body. You can also see red women's lingerie on the bed. And, it appears, Carradine may have been wearing a dark wig.

Although there are signs this could have been a sexual act that turned accidentally deadly, family sources say they are still suspicious of the circumstances and have not ruled out homicide.

16. He didn't die from hanging from his neck..he died from HANGING BY HIS ARMS!

This can cause suffocation if the arms are held higher than the body for too long as it's resticts chect movement/inhalation. It's also how Jesus died, btw.

A man in NYC almost died the same way in an S&M club. Only reason he survived was a woman came by and saw his foot had fallen out of the high heel shoe and was completely blue. He was in a coma for days, but survived.

19. I'M THINKING THAT THE HOTEL OR GOVERNMENT MIGHT WANT TO MAKE IT LOOK OTHER THAN IT IS SINCE THE FAMILY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUE OR IT WOULD HURT THEIR IMAGE. THE VIDEO OF THE HALLWAY COULD HAVE BEEN THAT FROM ANOTHER DAY, WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THEY MAY HAVE HAD TO STAGE IT??? I'm just wondering????

21. Has anyone here actually seen the picture? For some reason, TMZ's links are going to bogus sites. I wonder if there is some hacking going on.

23. I've seen the photo and do not believe for a minute it is a photo of David Carradine. David was in a suite at the hotel, not a tiny room with a bed next to some silly small area to hang clothes. The body in that photo is of a male much younger than David. Sorry, but I think this is a scam by the Thai tabloid.

24. A lot of this goes on with celebrities. It is sick. It shoukd not be made public. Kids get on line and read this and may rhink it's a great sex act. Carrdine knew the act was dangerous, so be it. I feel for his family but not him. Sexual satifaction can be reached without going to that extreem. He took the chance and lost. So be it.

25. The picture is all over the web, just do a search -- I easily found it in 3 different places. I would imagine TMZ is removing or replacing links because of possible lawsuits.

26. and yet respond you did No Fan .. maybe next time actually 'discuss' instead of trying to inflame things by tossing in some stupid comment about kids that has nothing to do with the story.. except in your sick perverted mind that is.

27. This is not a room in a luxury hotel like the one in which David died. I have been there, and you can find photos of the real rooms on the net. This is a rather seedy little motel somewhere. Even the quality of the furniture gives it away. It also seems unlikely that Carradine's hair would have changed color as the result of AEA

28. The fact that it is so embarrassing, it's possible it could be a set-up. You know those whever they call them monks from that area of Asia could be hardcore and maybe had an issue with Kung-Fu. Kung-fu wasn't that offensive, maybe they could have been more offended by his 'Yellow Book'.

29. Keep it coming TMZ - I'm lovin' this. The thought of old DC hanging there with his genitals all tied up is holarious!!!

30. Actually this is something parents SHOULD talk to kids about because kids 'try things' and often don't realize the dangers. Death by auto erotic play is actually more common in teens and young people than older people. When you shun all discussion that's when things happen. Right now there are kids playing the 'pass out game' same concept .. get high by starving the brain of oxygen and blood.. this should be discussed not ignored. Kid's find this stuff online on sites like Gaia, which by the way is geared towards kids so if you think TMZ should quit because a kid might see this and try it you are sadly mistaken. It's an opportunity to show kids how dangerous this is and it's not a thrill, and not something to 'try'.
