The big internet rumor is suicide, by hanging. Bizarre!

Ok, but it was in banghcock. (or however you spell that)

So, my guess (and not to speak ill of the dead, but to be really crass) if he wasn't shooting a movie there, the ONLY other reason anyone ever has any reason to go there is to be autoerotically asphyxiated by a 14-year old Thai girl in the closet.

So, let's hope he was shooting a movie and committed suicide, alternative being embarassing way to go.

I had the same thought (well, without the 14 year old Thai girl, lol). It just seems pretty damned strange for him to commit suicide, especially at that age, while his career is still alive. It's possible he got caught up doing something kinky and it just went too far.

He was, apparently, actually working on a film there, so the trip wasn't exclusively for sex tourism.

When I read he committed suicide I was like that's so sad than I read he was naked when he did it I was like "Wait a min..."

Yeah, it's really starting to look that way...

We just spoke to a rep for David Carradine, who claims the actor's death was not a suicide.

The rep said David's death was "accidental." And there's this ... the BBC is now reporting that David's body was found hanging with a rope around his neck and "other parts of his body."

Carradine's body was found nude, hanging in a closet.

David's rep added, "We can confirm 100% that he never would have committed suicide. It was an accidental death. Everybody is in shock."

I have never ever understood any sort of allure in the whole asphyxiation thing. Plain boring old normal non-asphyxiation orgasms are just fine with me.

yikes. I also had the rampant kinky child sex theory pop into my head as well, when I first heard.

It's so sad, though.

I insist that an underage Thai hooker was involved.

I apologize profusely for insisting, yet I insist nevertheless.

Egads. It's going to get downright sordid.

New York Times wrote:

Carradine's sexual peccadilloes were the focus of a divorce filing by his ex-wife, Marina Anderson. In Los Angeles Superior Court documents, Anderson described his erotic antics.

Carradine groped her in public and encouraged her to flash strangers by pulling her top off, the filing said. He also enjoyed the company of "people of questionable character," the court papers continued.

"It was the continuation of abhorant [sic] and deviant sexual behavior which was potentially deadly," Anderson's filing said.

In addition, Carradine's "deviate behavior includes an incestuous relationship with a very close family member, which permeated our marriage," she wrote.

yeah. Um, in light of this, autoerotic asphyxiation almost seems normal.

It permeated their marriage? Eww.

Weird that I've not heard any jokes yet. Is there not one Kung Fu or Kill Bill reference that can be twisted to fit this horrible tragedy? Hmm...maybe it's too outre as is.

I think that it may be *too soon*. But, after Saturday, it will not be too soon anymore, so we should think of some.

I'm not so sure the jokes aren't still busy writing themselves. >.<

The first thing that came to our mind when we heard about David Carradine’s death was not "kung fu assassins!"

But apparently, Carradine's attorney Mark Geragos is not of the same mind.

He suggested on Larry King’s show that Carradine’s strange suffocation by rope death – which according to TMZ now may involve fishnet stockings, a wig and red lingerie -- may have been the secret martial arts societies' way of silencing him.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2009/06/did-a-kung-fu-secret-...

A small Thai paper also has leaked what is apparently a photo of the death scene. I've seen it - it's very grainy, and is not very revealing, and could potentially even be fake. The one detail though is Carradine - or whoever is in it - appears to be wearing fishnets and a wig.

This whole thing is so messed up!

CAUTION: Some of the cheap foreign websites hosting this image are also hosting viruses. One of them just tried to crawl into my computer, haha. Laughing out loud

It's so Fatty Arbucklesque you almost can't joke about it, but I agree we should try:

Q: What was the most unusual thing about Keith Carradine's death?

A: We usually discover a Hollywood star is hung when he comes out of the closet.

See?

I read somewhere that, in honor of his life long career in martial arts, they'll be having a spectacular Kung Funeral.

Fuuuuuuuneral.

...

I'm sorry.

Why did Keith Carradine really hang himself?

His agent said it'd been too long since he was in the noose.

I'm sorry, too.

carradine tied up his dick
in a pretzel-shaped knotted up stick
because he was such a perv
he never lost his nerve
until he slipped when the chair was too slick

sorry

Annnnnnnnd...just to finalize my journey to hell, here's the death photo from the Thai newspaper. I'm not embedding it - just so anyone who doesn't feel comfortable doesn't have to "accidentally" see it. I will say that's it's incredibly fuzzy and all "shocking" details are blurred out.

There is one important point; it appears in the photo he's wearing some sort of weird fishnet bodysuit. This is an illusion, from what I've read elsewhere. The Thai newspaper, in the desire to shadow out his physical nudity, photo-chopped the pattern over his entire skin. He's apparently nude hanging there, without the weird fishnet pattern.

A couple of strange things, there. If you're just trying to get off, why tie up your hands? I'm no expert on these things, but that seems odd. Actually, how do you tie your own hands? Hmm...

That said, if it was suicide, would he really have a giant poster of himself over the bed? I don't think so.

...

What's wrong with having a poster of yourself over your bed while you're contemplating suicide? I mean, I DO.

Is it a really bad picture? Then I could maybe see it. But that one of Keith is a touch too dashing, methinks.

Circle of Iron is one of my favorite kung-fu films (written by Bruce Lee), and Death Race 2000 is priceless.

I haven't seen Circle of iron, but Death race 2000 was shamed by the awful remake!
