David Carradine found dead in Bangers!

[beer monkey]

Why would someone murder him or want to murder him after all he only just arrived in Thailand..?

Arrrrr just read that his family may believe that a secret kung-fu sect may have had him assassinated as he was delving into the 'shadowy world ' of martial arts sects...

[jingjai]

Whatever the outcome of this incident will be... Given the international media coverage...
I'm sure it is not going to give any comfort to the families of other Westerners who have died here under mysterious/suspicious/unexplainable deaths.

Wasn't that Bruce Lee or is there some kind of conspiracy going on?

2 of his Ex's have mentioned he enjoyed kinky sex...inc Bondage.

Could be true BM..but "Ex's" are not generally renowned for showing their former partners in a favourable light!!!

read this explanation for the tied hands

"Brent Turvey, a forensic scientist and criminal profiler who has studied auto-erotic asphyxiation, has examined the photo of Carradine?s body published in a Thai newspaper. The photo shows the body with a rope around his neck hanging in a closet ? Carradine?s hands were tied about his head.

Turvey says it's simple for someone to tie rope around his/her hands, by loosely tying the hands in front -- then raising them up to tighten. Turvey says undoing the knot is easy as well, allowing for a quick escape. Turvey says, By tying his hands above his head, and bending his knees in a sitting position, he can easily stand up and untie his hands with his teeth. Choking in this position is an accident that usually results from the rope being left on the neck a few seconds too long."

The plot thickens with...

"As regards the possibility of murder, according to attorney Mark Geragos, Carradine may have been killed by a secret society of martial arts assassins, working in the martials-arts underworld, which the actor was attempting to uncover. In this respect there are parallels with the death of Bruce Lee, who it is rumoured might have been assassinated by the Triads, a Chinese secret society."

A regualr who dunnit... Was there another person in the room, was it a ladyboy, man, woman or all three? Or was it just a hand shandy gone wrong.

One things for certain Mr. Carradine won't be having anymore hand shandys or friendly gaspers.

I did read the 150 year old shaolin Yu Wang kin Secret sect had a hand in it, but i am ruling it out and still pointing towards Auto-erotic asphyxiation theory, and Brent Turvey seems to know what he is talking about...all sounds plausible.

He went the same way Micheal Hutchence went from inxs the only difference was carradine had nowt in his mouth.

AP Exclusive: No Carradine suicide, expert says
AP - 12 June 2009 02:14:14
By ANTHONY McCARTNEY

APThe forensics expert hired by David Carradine's family has concluded that the "Kung Fu" actor did not commit suicide, but said Thursday that more information was needed from Thai investigators before the cause of death could be determined.

Carradine's brothers, Keith and Robert Carradine, each read part of a prepared statement to reporters from The Associated Press at a Los Angeles hotel. In their first public remarks since their older brother was found hanging in a Bangkok hotel room closet last week, they thanked supporters and asked for privacy.

"This is a devastating loss for our family and we greatly appreciate the compassion pouring in from all over the world," Keith Carradine said.

They also released a statement by Dr. Michael Baden of New York that indicated a second autopsy determined Carradine didn't kill himself.

"However, to reach a final determination as to the cause and the manner of death we must wait for further information from Thailand as to the scene findings and the completion of the crime laboratory and toxicology studies that are still being performed," Baden's statement concluded.

Reached by phone after the morning briefing, Baden said he expects to receive more information from Thai authorities in a week or two and stressed that the information at hand was incomplete.

"The autopsy is only part of the analysis," he said.


Then the fight started!

Of course...but most people see your talents and perceptive abilities more oriented to uncovering sources of online identities than they do to solving mysterious deaths in exotic locales.

As David Carradine's family and friends try to make sense of his death, more details about the actor's bondage and sexual fetishes are coming out.

Gail Jensen, Carradine's Third Ex-Wife, Sheds New Light on Late Actor's Sexual Fetishes
Actor David Carradine and wife Gail Jensen attending the premiere of "My Family" on April 27, 1995 at Cinerama Dome Theater in Hollywood, California. Jensen, Carradine's Third Ex-Wife, Sheds New Light on Late Actor's Sexual Fetishes

In an interview with RadarOnline.com, Gail Jensen, Carradine's third ex-wife, said he enjoyed tying himself up in the bedroom of their California ranch and experimented with drowning himself in their pool.

"He had his kinky moments," said Jensen, who was married to Carradine from 1986 to 1997. She added that the late actor saw the sex acts as a form of meditation and stress release.

In a separate interview, Jensen revealed that Carradine "would tie himself up, and I would walk in and see him and say, 'Oh, my God, David, you've got to be kidding me.'"

She added, "He liked to be tied up. And he could tie himself up ... He spent days planning a different feature. He would go to a hardware store and buy the stuff."

Jensen's sentiment was echoed by the late actor's fourth and most recent ex-wife. Shocked to hear about the nude death photos that were published of Carradine over the weekend, Marina Anderson said her four-year marriage to the actor was a "roller coaster."

Anderson, the actress and artist who has been credited with resuscitating Carradine's film career, is writing a book about her turbulent relationship with the actor, who was found hanged in Thailand last week.

"The dynamics were pretty heavy," she told ABCNews.com. "I don't want to get into it or I will get emotional."


She also acknowledged that statements to a Los Angeles court when she filed for divorce from the actor were true -- that he engaged in deadly sex acts and incest throughout their marriage.

Over the weekend, Carradine's brother, Keith, also an actor, said the family was "profoundly disturbed" by photos published in Thailand that are said to be of Carradine's naked body hanging with ropes around his neck and genitals in a Bangkok hotel room.


A grainy photo published on the Saturday cover of the tabloid Thai Rath shows a naked body suspended from a clothes bar in a hotel closet, hands apparently bound together above the head and feet on the floor, according to Reuters.

The face is blacked out and other areas are obscured. Thai police said they believed it was a picture of Carradine's body taken by a forensics team.

"Oh my god, no," Anderson said, when she learned of the photos. "That is just horrible."

Thai officials say they suspect Carradine, who died last week, had engaged in auto-erotic asphyxia, a dangerous sex act that may have gone wrong. The family wants the FBI to undertake their own investigation, and the agency acknowledged the request.

The family has threatened legal action against any media outlet that reprints images of the actor in death.

"I'm a little crazed right now," said Anderson, who supports the family's desire to get the FBI involved. "All I can say is he is my ex-husband and I was very attached to him, and I don't think this is the time to go into details. I want to talk nice about him."

In 2003 court documents that were published on the Web site Smoking Gun, Anderson said her four-year marriage to the former Kung Fu star left her suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder like a soldier returning from battle.

"I stand by what I said," Anderson told ABCNews.com.
