I'm willing to bet an autopsy or a deposition from his physician will reveal something that drove him to it. |

More sordid details found at IMDB:
Quoted Text Carradine Death Was Accidental 4 June 2009 3:05 PM, PDT
David Carradine died during a sex game that went wrong, according to sources in Bangkok, Thailand, where he was found dead on Thursday.
Carradine's body was discovered in a hotel suite and local reports suggested he committed suicide.
He was discovered by a maid, naked and hanged, but the suggestions his death had a sexual twist were strongly disputed by the star's close friend, attorney Vicki Roberts, and his manager Chuck Binder, who insisted he died of natural causes.
But a statement from Carradine's representative now indicates the actor died during a sex act.
The spokesperson tells TMZ.com, "We can confirm 100 per cent that he never would have committed suicide. It was an accidental death. Everybody is in shock."
Rumours Carradine died attempting auto-erotic asphyxiation - where victims achieve heightened sexual pleasure by restricting their air supply - are backed up by a quote a Bangkok police officer gave to British newspaper The Sun.
The cop tells reporters, "A rope was attached to his neck and also to his penis".
Rocker Michael Hutchence was rumoured to have died attempting the same sex act in a Sydney, Australia hotel room back in 1997 - although his death was officially declared a suicide.
Carradine was in Thailand to shoot new movie Stretch. He was 72. |

Are we making fun of him now, Michael? Making fun of a dead man? Cool!
Does anyone see the humor in that he hung himself while filming a movie called Stretch?

Hopefully death by auto-erotic asphyxiation won't show up as a theme on the next OWC...
(Which doesn't change the fact that I'm saddened by David Carradine's untimely departure, in whatever manner it happened to have occurred) |

It was nicer when we thought he died from depression instead of kinky sexual stuff... but people do stupid/strange/perverse things and call them natural. R.I.P |

I'm still waiting to read about someone dying from a perforated colon, due to them overinflating themselves with a bicycle pump. Yes, there are people out there that actually do that. |
