Carradine Photo Reveals Fishnet Stocking

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.

108. Going over the posts it seems a lot of the commentators in this forum have forgotten somebody died here. There are family members or people in real life who loved this man that may be reading this.
Most passionate people, creative people and highly intelligent individuals have an appetite for more creative sexual behaviors. The child molester Westley allan Dodd summed up this best when he said its how we are wired. He didnt know if it was from birth or from ones experience but he admitted he was attracted to young boys the way most adult men are attracted to young females. You could no more take that attraction away from young males to young females as you could take, his attraction for young boys. Dodd admitted if given the opportunity he would absolutely molest and kill again. Now dont get me wrong here i am not comparing David Carradean to the child molester Westly Allan Dodd. They are totally at two separate ends of the spectrum. Actually not even in the same universe. I am just saying you dont have to understand Mr. Carradean's fetish but in reality who was he hurting? This was something wired into himself that he couldn't control. Much like any of us that have sexual preferences. Are we all sexual deviants damned to hell for having fetish or preference? Does doing only the missionary position give you the key into heaven? What turns your cranks behind closed doors is no bodies business unless you involve children or unwilling partners into it. This is clearly not the situation the unfortunate Mr. Carradean was found in. Why is there so much interest in the private life of Mr. Carradean's sexual fetish? . Sadly his life is going to be summed up by the very private manner in which he lost his life. Obviously he pushed the fetish deep into the red zone. I dont understand the how so many of you have drawn the conclusion that Mr.Carradean was obviously a sexual deviant? How exactly does this make him a sexual deviant? He was by himself not hurting anyone there were no children tied up next to him.
Quite frankly I have come to the conclusion, if God didnt want you to touch yourself he'd made your arms shorter and it wouldn't feel so damn good! There are two types of people. Those that do and those that lie. You and God both know which type you are. Am i damned to hell for spanking the monkey while giving samples for our IVF baby just born this past may? or was it the sticky pages of porn i was trying to look at whilst trying to produce my sample? I am a man created by God and try to live my life in a manner that would please my creator. However, I would be shocked to find God was keeping track of my masterbattion sessions. To me God should be doing much more important work. Perhaps i am wrong dead wrong here and God is so busy keeping track of all us sexual deviants masterbattors ......its no wonder the worlds gone to hell in a hand basket. Maybe we should have another spanish inquisition. We could burn all the homosexuals. Cross dressers anyone that didnt quite fit the mold. We could all dress in black and white have short hair make everyone die their hair blonde. We could beat our wives into sub-serviant drones and go back to the days all the Islamic Fundamentalist all pray for. Just because you dont agree with something or understand it, doesnt make it deviant. Its just life in all its splendor and colour.

109. Too funny these pictures are FAKES or re-enactments. To quote from a Thai newspaper...."The photographs(scroll down), which have seen the Carradine clan have their lawyer publicly warn publications of lawsuits, appear to be nothing more than a fake at worst, or a re-enactment at best.The photographs displayed by the Bangkok tabloid show a man with dark skin and black hair, naked and suspended by a rope tied around his wrists and attached to a clothes bar inside what appears to be a cheap closet. A bed is less than one meter away from the closet and the room has a wooden floor - all hardly the stuff of a suite in a prestigious hotel such as the Swissotel Nai Lert Park."

After seeing the "Carradine" picture, it is hard to believe anyone believed it was real. Here's a link to it if you haven't seen it....http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/entertainment/thai-rath-photos-of-dead-david-carradine-fake-see-here_100202481.html Here's what the real Swissotel looks like...http://www.swissotel.com/EN/Destinations/Thailand/Swissotel+Nai+Lert+Park/HOTEL+HOME/Gallery/Rooms

Sad that the family was duped this way, and that TMZ jumped on the bandwagon before the facts were known.

110. To NOT A FAN in particular but in general to all. I've been to Thailand many times and, while it is an adult Disneyland with some of the most beautiful ADULT women in the world, I have yet to see any signs of the "pedophile city" those who have never been there love to talk about. I'm not saying that it's not available there because, as in most underdeveloped countries, anything can be bought for a price. Thailand has some of the most happy and hospitable people you could meet and an amazing and interesting culture that both my wife and I love. Too bad people love to comment so forcefully on subjects they are completely ignorant of.

111. A story I read said that he was found with his hands bound behind his back. The picture in question has the subject's hands bound above his head. I agree with those who claim the photo is fake. Look at the real hotel that one of the blogger's linked for us to check out. The hotel is so much nicer than the alleged hotel in the photo. I know that reasonably intelligent people post here so I am a bit baffled by those who seem to believe the photo is real.

113. The pic of a person hanging in the closest is not David Carradine. The body is small in size and to short. In the first report David's hands were tied behind him, now they come out and say they were tied together above his head on the closet pole. The hand were said to be tied to the pole, so it could coincide with the fake pic? I do not see how some one could die of any kind of hanging with his hands tied to the pole. His hands above his head would make it very hard in my opinion. Try and see if I am wrong Harvey. Man who is with out sin, cast the first stone. Now David may have been a sexual deviant, maybe not. I can not say. But it come to divorce now days any one and every one says whatever they can to win and damage the other persons character. How can people call David a sexual deviant when they are probably the same people who give a high 5 for homosexuals. Now that is deviant behavior.

115. Nobody would even be interested if he had died in his sleep. The man went out with an orgasm and there is no better way to leave this world. His family just needs to stop trying to cover it up because this just adds to his legacy anyways. We don't love David Carradine any less because he was a freaky deeky because there are worse things he could've done in his life than that. We'll miss ya, David.

116. The person in that photo looks awfully short.
The arms, for example.
Carradine was known for having long arms.
This person's arms are also covered with dark hair, which, at Carradine's age, seems unlikely.

As for the ex-wives and what they're saying, they're ex-wives.
Ex-wives lie.
Especially the ones in Hollywood who want publicity for their books.

I'm not saying it's not true, but people who have no proof are saying it is.
I prefer evidence.

117. Used to pull trap and skeet back in the 80's at Prado Tiro Gun Range in Chino, back then I worked for San Bernardino County Parks and Recreation who ran the park that also held the 1984 Olympics prior to my 3 year employment with them. David Carradine attended a Celebrity Shoot that was being held for MDA Muscular Dystrophy Association. Mr Carradine was drinking and drunk when in between squads he aimed his 12 gauge shotgun at me and pulled the trigger. I felt all the pellets go threw my hair and arround my face. Then I chased him off of the field for shooting at me. I was all of maybe 17 years old. His blond bimbo girlfriend/assistant also got chased when she tried to confront me. The ranger Jack Hudson had to finish pulling the shoot as I worked in the proshop for the rest of the day. David Carradine was a drunk and careless when he was drunk. I could see him being intoxicated in Bangkok and possibly playing a game/joke that went too far and took his life. I always knew he was going to hurt someone while being drunk, just never knew it wold be himself. I have paystubs and pictures as proof if needed. I also have my old uniform.

118. What you see are not black hair or fishnet stocking. In Thailand , for the newspaper not to get into trouble with the law to print pictures either of the dead or not decently covered body of the living, they have to camouflage the pictures. The usual thing that they do are putting the black tape over the face and some kind of filter over the body.

119. TMZ Lies:
"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."

1. There were no fishnet stockings. As it has been told by many posters who know how Thai newspapers work, this is censorship of dead bodies (or naked bodies, or both) commonly done in Thailand. Obviously TMZ never does the research on Thai journalist and go ahead to make up their own conclusion.

2. The photo was not Carradine's body. I thought that the first time I saw it printed in the newspaper. The hair was black. The skin was dark, There was no wrinkles on the body. And only the back of the head was seen, no face. Thai Rath claimed that it was Carradine's, but I don't believe it one bit. It was most likely a young Thai man who died the same way and used to "substitute" Carradine's body. Thai Rath is not the most reliable news source in Thailand, after all.

3. The "body" was seen from the back. There was no full-frontal picture published. Even such lowest standard populist newspaper like Thai Rath wouldn't stoop THAT low. So the comment about tied genitals was completely wrong, at least regarding to the picture.

Lastly, stop talking nonsense about Thailand. It is safe here for both Thais and foreigners. Gang-related murders are rare and mostly kept quiet, not high-profile like Carradine's death. Also, foreigners mostly associated with the mob are Russians and Middle-Easterns, not Americans, especially American actors. While there are prostitutes, you can't find underage ones that easily. It's illegal and the law is very harsh. If you have never visited here, then shut up. Stop talking about places you don't know, you'll only make a fool of yourself.

My condolences for Carradine. I'd rather see those idiots who talked trash about Thailand die in his place.
