    More from Bangkok Post:

    including this:

    Police have not confirmed whether he took his own life or was murdered.

    …Lumpini police said the body of Carradine was found curled up inside the wardrobe with one end of a shoelace tied around his penis and the other end fastened around his neck.

    Both of his hands were bound with a cord which was also tied around his neck….

    Mysteriously, a footprint found on the bed did not match the shoes worn by Carradine.

    Must have been a long shoelace to go around his neck and down to his bell end……

    The TAT should promote his room as a tourist attraction.

    A few years ago a man was also found like this. With a shoelace tied around his neck and his penis. His hands were also tied behind his back.

    I dont remember the exact details, but I believe it was in New York, and they filed it as suicide. He was found by a neighbour.

    I cant even imagine how you could do this to yourself. But then David was special, maybe even more so then we already know.

    I do not understand how he could trust a hooker with putting a shoelace around his neck…

    Further reports from the Bangok Post:

    http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/145249/carradine-may-have-died-from-sex-act

    American actor David Carradine might have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation, Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) director Porntip Rojanasunan said on Friday….

    Police said the body was found curled up inside the wardrobe with one end of a shoelace tied around his penis and the other end fastened around his neck. Both of his hands were bound with a cord which was also tied around his neck.

    He could have been be trying auto-erotic asphyxiation to gain sexual pleasure and may have accidentally suffocated, Kunying Porntip said. Other evidence supporting this theory included a penis shrine inside his room.

    She did not believe anyone else was involved, but admitted she could not be 100 per cent sure.

    Police said the famous actor, who initially gained fame through the TV series Kung Fu may have died from accidental suffocation. They were also investigating and suspected suicide

    Carradine’s repersentative and family members told the press they believed his death to be accidental and not suicide.

    Metropolitan police chief Lt Gen Vorapong Chiewpreecha said the rope attached to his his genitals and the one around his neck were tied together.

    “Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide, but he may have died while masturbating,” he said….

    An initial medical examination revealed Carradine died from a sudden lack of oxygen. His body showed no signs of a struggle

    I called a friend of mine at the police department who said that the medical examiner is planning to do a close inspection of Carradine’s palms to see if there is any recent hair growth to support the masturbation theory.

    This is not the way I want my body to be found when it’s my turn to go….
