Autopsy Finds Carradine’s Death Not A Suicide

Autopsy finds Carradine’s death not a suicide Independent investigator says more information needed to rule on cause

LOS ANGELES - The 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.

"Add a third word, id death is by autoeroticism: Depravity"

Bork was right, we are "Slouching Towards Gomorrah".

Ever seen him in “The Cowboys”?

FANTASTIC movie and a great performance by a much younger man.

Insurance money notwithstanding, if David’s death turns out to be a homicide, his family deserves justice.

Slouching nothing! We’re running at it full-tilt.

So apparently Carradine wasn’t hung.

The reason he was in Bangkok?

"Carradine was Swinging Toward Gomorrah."

Disturbing mental picture. Do you think he, ahem, ended up pointing towards magnetic North.

I’m not reading homicide into this but rather accidental death.

Yea, give Dr. Baden some camera time and a sordid story and he’ll say anything to keep the cameras rolling. No doubt he’ll get some time with Greta in the next few days talking about autoerotic asphyxiation. And no doubt Geraldo will be jealous.

Which is why I posted a reply to #11, about “The NERD guy” ;)

I’m fairly sure I can tell the NERD and Kwai Chang Caine apart ;)

Which would be worse? To be known for dying by suicide, or by auto-erotic-asphyxiation?

Hollywood...
