Warning, this Post is Graphic!
A explicit and shocking photo of David Carradine hanging dead have surfaced online. A Bangkok tabloid ran a photo of David Carradine's hanging body that was leaked to them, the disturbing photo definitely shows the actor's hands tied above his head. David Carradine, star of the 1970's television series Kung Fu and Kill Bill movies, was found dead in a closet in a Bangkok hotel room with ropes tied around his neck and his genitals. David Carradine's family were the first to publicly say that the actor's death was foul play, but it appears the Thai police are finally leaning that way as well. In addition to his neck and genitals being bound with rope, Carradine's hands were also tied behind his head. TMZ reports:
Chuck Binder, Carradine's manager, tells us he firmly believes Carradine did not take his own life -- nor does he think David died accidentally. Binder says the family has been told Carradine's hands were immobilized by the rope. Carradine was found by a hotel maid Thursday morning with a rope tied around his neck and another around his genitals in a Bangkok hotel room.
UPDATE: Thai police are now recognizing David's death may not have been a suicide, by saying, "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or [whether] he died of suffocation or heart failure." Police say he could have died from an "accidental suffocation."
I hope the Thai authorities find something soon, because it seems they were trying to cover up this apparent crime from the start. Carradine's death was originally reportedly by Thai authorities to be caused by suicide, and then accidental autoerotic asphyxiation. The family has asked U.S. authorities to help uncover the mystery of his death, amid conflicting reports about how his body was found hanging naked in a Bangkok hotel. The photo which Thai police believe was taken by the forensics team appeared on the cover of the local paper. Does this look like the scene of a suicide to you?
The mystery has deepened since his body was discovered on Thursday by a maid in the Bangkok hotel suite where he was staying while filming the movie "Stretch." He was found dead in the Swiss Hotel on Soi Nailert. A tabloid newspaper in Thailand, Thai Rath newspaper reportedly published photos Saturday in Bangkok. The Thai language newspaper censored most of the body, but still revealing explicit details of the death scene. The newspaper ran the picture on its front page and a larger version inside the paper.
The Carradine family is said to be very outraged about the release of these photos. Keith Carradine, David's brother:
"The family wants it understood that, per attorney Mark Geragos, any persons, publications or media outlets will be fully prosecuted for invasion of privacy and causing severe emotional distress if the photos are published."
With coroners awaiting results of toxicology tests, Thai media pointed to suicide or accidental autoerotic asphyxiation as possible causes of death. Some reports have said a cord was wrapped around Carradine's genitals and others that his hands were bound behind his back. None could be confirmed. In Bangkok, Thai police said it could take several weeks for coroners to confirm exactly how Carradine died.
"What we're doing right now is interviewing more witnesses," Police Colonel Somprasong Yentuam told Reuters. Thai television said Carradine's body was flown back to Los Angeles early Saturday, which Geragos confirmed. Already there has been strong speculation that the 72-year old actor was murdered in a robbery or the victim of a sex act gone wrong.
The ex-wife of Kung Fu actor David Carradine has claimed that she was asked repeatedly by him to take part in ‘deviant’ sex games.
Actress Marina Anderson, 56, said Carradine, who was found dead in his Bangkok hotel room after engaging in what is thought to be a botched sex game, routinely displayed "deviant sexual behaviour which was potentially deadly."
In papers from their 2003 divorce, Ms Anderson, says her refusal to engage in the games caused their marriage to break down.
The Thai police official who is heading the investigation into the hanging death of David Carradine is defending his department's handling of the case and is telling the actor's family he doesn't need the FBI's help.
