Carradine Death: Not A Suicide!
Filed under: R.I.P.
There has been some speculation that the hanging death of actor David Carradine was a suicide. His reps want to put the rumor to rest and confirm that the tragedy was in fact an accident.
One that might have resulted from engaging in some kind of sex act!
An officer on the scene described finding Carradine's naked body hanging in his closet with rope around his neck as well as "other body parts". They weren't specific, but we can take a guess at what they are hinting at.
Carradine failed to show up to dinner with his crew and friends of the movie Stretch, which he was shooting at the time, on Wednesday but his comrades assumed he took a break because of his age. He was found this morning by the hotel maid, dead.
The body was transported to the hospital for an autopsy and no other new information will be available until tests are complete.

What a way to go.
Happened to one of my dad's restaurant customers. Young kid went to Thailand to help after the tsunami, engaged in this type of sex act and accidentally hung himself. He was found hanging by the maid.
I really don't understand why this sex act is so popular…it doesn't seem worth it to me.
super creepy and gross. how embarrassing for his family.
Still Sad!
But If He Died While
Or After Having Sex
He Died Happy!!!
Crazy.
OMG! That is horrible!
Does this serve anyone really. This is a terrible tragedy and I'm sure his family would appreciate some privacy on the matter of his death asshole.
As I guessed. Not a pretty or graceful way for a man to end his life.
Fuckin' stupid thing to do without supervision from a friend or lover.
what an embarrassing way to die!
But can you rule suicide out really? David Carradine had talked about committing suicide many times in the past. Perhaps he just wanted to go out with a bang.
This is really sad and embarassing….RIP David
He came and went. What a way to go.
Seriously, doesn't suicide sound better than accidentally dying that way? I'd rather people think I was unhappy than have people think I was too fucking horny that conventional methods weren't good enough for me.
YUCK!!!!!
I knew it was probably autoerotic asphyxiation. Most suicides don't hang themselves nude.
Twice called to the scene to take evidentiary photos of autoerotic asphyxiation. One dude's five year-old son found him hanging in front of a mirror he'd rigged up to watch himself. Horrible.
On a darkly humorous note: at 72??? Kind of impressive to know the old goat still had it in him.
Poor fucker.
Sad.
I loved Kung Fu.
RIP!
Well a lot of people think that dying during sex would be ideal… I think David would respectfully disagree…. :O
Sounds like Murder.
Maybe some Taiwan Prostitute
wow thats horrible R.I.P
RIP DAVE… DAMN THE ONLY WHITE GUY WHO ACTUALLY LOOKS ASIAN!!
wow i cant believe he's gone.
the movie had to be called, "Stretch"??? Ugh. Too creepy and ironic.
rumored in the Michael Hutchence case — tho he had been depressed for a very long time — so suicide was most likely
Sad. He David was a terribly shy person and this would of been absoultely mortifying to him to know that everyone knew what he was doing at the time of his demise. Poor Annie ;(
gosh what a way to die but rest in peace old man
Re: andreinac13 – The "AUTO" part means he was alone.
i knew he didn't kill himself
Re: urdumb –
Your comment is the only sane one. David and his family deserve some respect at this terrible time. Please allow the family to grieve at their loss. Mr Carradine was a brilliant actor. RIP
ok men are truly weird
so Uma thurman did Kill Bill !Rest in Peace Grasshopper!
What a stupid way to die. There ARE safer ways to please yourself, you know. Didn't this guy hear about what happened to Michael Hutchence?
Poor Guy went from KUNG FU to HUNG FOOL really quick…
Always liked him….
Re: Kaotic_Kalmness – That was too good!
Anything involving a rope around the neck can mean only threethings:
Death by hanging, a suicide or sexual deviance.
nuff said..
God I hope he had some hookers with him. That would at least look better then ckoking off both ends in the closet. I could accept that he was being torture fucked by two whores and it went too far. He's a bit too cool, for a creepy old man, to die the other way.
Re: urdumb –
WELL SAID COULDNT SAY IT BETTER
WHAT EVER
YOU MEAN HE CAME AND WENT AT THE SAME TIME?
"Other body parts?" Good grief…
Seriously dude-do you HAVE to spread unconfirmed rumors-he's dead, and cant defend himself
So his last move is known as Hanging Man.
This was CLEARLY auto-erotic asphyxiation. You don't hang yourself from a closet naked from the waist down. you just don't.
like suicide is a more respectable way to die then some old wrinkled kinky dude getting himself off in the closet….geez, why change the story? if it's true, he just becomes a sick joke, nothing more.
well. i guess that s what can happen to pervert old ridiculous men…
WHAT OTHER BODY PARTS?
I knew it!!
Re: tigrrr[re=3873696]Re: jessicat86 –
uh no he wouldn't,…he's dead.
The Breathless Orgasm: A Lovemap Biography of Asphyxophilia by John Money, Gordon Wainwright, and David Hingsburger (Prometheus Books, 1991). The first part of the book is the story of an "asphyxiophile" who lived to tell about it.
Re: MindyD –
come on….his reps confirmed it was accident, and he was found hanging naked, do you have another explanation??
What? What do they mean other body parts??
They say people were waiting for him at dinner. Imagine [shaking hands] how nice to see you David. What have you been up to? TAKE YOUR HAND SANITIZER EVERYWHERE.
Re: BALLS MALONEY – lol Funny.
Re: Laury – They know. But apparently it's such an erotic experience that it's worth the risk…I guess.
Helluva way to go, Grasshopper!!
I can see this guys' spirit walking the dessertin front of the sunset. God bless you Dave.
How bad is the sex if you have to hang yourself to get off. Weirdos.
How embarassing.
I can't believe people are making LAME jokes about this? It's disgusting, you're disgusting human beings. What if this guy was one of your family members? What if it was your father/uncle/grandfather? Yeah, that's right you losers, he was a HUMAN BEING… with feelings just like you or I and he loved and was loved. Grow up you pathetic excuses for people.
& while I'm ranting. FUCK ALL OF YOU saying "what a sick guy blah blah blah". How he got his rocks off on his own time was his business. Everybody has a little kink from time to time. He wasn't masturbating over child porn or raping anyone. FUCK!
This is someones father and brother and uncle. Have some respect, that really didn't need to be made public. Shame on you Perez, have some respect.
this should be private information with police only. how embarrassing.
Perhaps you should let this family mourn the loss instead of suggesting this rumor even if it proves to be true, leave them alone. Perez your the lowest scum bag dog turd on the net, besides that dirty whore Paris Hilton.
Michael killed himself, his stupid g/f at the time made up the B.S. and did David REALLY die that way too?? Either he killed himself or someone made it look that way.
Did someone Kill Bill?? dun dun duuuuunnn!
That's a horrible (and stupid) way to die. How embarrassing. Not like he cares much now I'm sure. I feel very sad for his family.
Dayum, is the nut that good from this?
To his defense this is all speculation! It's too early to rule an official cause of death. Lets wait and see what they come up with next.
Don't the Asian Community frown upon Suicide, some type of honor thing or something? As David was so into the martial arts and ways of Asian Culture, it may have been deemed better to just be an accident rather than a suicide. Either way My heartfelt wishes go out to his children and family.
He lived 10 minutes away from me & was a very sweet man
The composer Frantisek Kotzwara died from erotic asphyxiation in 1791, probably the first recorded case.
Sada Abe killed her lover, Kichizo Ishida, through erotic asphyxiation in 1936, proceeding to cut off his testicles and carry them in her handbag for a number of days. The case caused a sensation in 1930s Japan and has remained one of the most famous Japanese murder cases of all time.
Stage and screen actor Albert Dekker was found in 1968 with his body graffitized and a noose around his neck in his bathroom.

The death of the British National Front party member Kristian Etchells happened in 2005.[25]
On March 28, 2007, the New York Times had a front-page story on a teenager who had suffered a heart attack and spent three days in a coma after hanging himself for a "rush".[26], in what appeared to be an instance of a choking game.

The death of David Carradine in 2009, in which he was found partially undressed with a cord around his neck and genitals[29]], is also suspected to be a case of autoerotic asphyxiation
wow. he's like 70. wonder how much he paid for that =|
wow… for such a talented actor nobody has any decency for his death… its not something to be skewered and passed around the table… he died. its sad. give the man some fucking respect.

SOUNDS LIKE SEXUAL ASYPHYXIATION TO ME!

Got caught choking his chicken.
Poor old pervert. Well at least he died doing what he loved best.
Please help me resurrect Neverland!
Poor old pervert…
He was a hero to millions of children….
I kinda figured that's what it was.
What an embarrassing way to go.
Re: urdumb – no, urdumber
Just a preemptive comment to illiterate types such as miss_couture and hobieluv83: the past tense/participle of "hang" (as in the 'suicide/execution' sense, not the 'place a picture on a hook' sense) is "hanged," not "hung." If you insist on ignorantly disputing this linguistic fact, then you obviously failed remedial English and/or are incapable of using a dictionary.
At 72 he does kinky sex inside a cupboard.? Yuck

Re: RedWingsFan –

I liked
the dudeeeeeeeeeeeee
so sad…
guyz just gotta have it///
Jesus! What a such horrible news in my early afternoon!
I'm in shock!
Since the 1970's I am kung fu fighting…because of him!
Please, someome give me a moment to give him a moment…
regardless of the way he went, it's still really sad, he was a truly gifted actor, and an amazing person.
R.I.P.
Re: Phew!!! – You would be surprised how many things you & I and everyone else are unaware of…
Doesn't matter how he went out he is still & will always be awesome! I think he was so underrated as an actor.
arrrrghh! naugthy way to dead!
hehe jk! I guess I don't want to do the same now! :S
rip anyway!
Re: sushi – I'd have to disagree with that. I'd rather have people think I was kinking out, happy with sex at 72 over suicide, are you kidding?
We are seriously repressed if suicide trumps accidental suffocation!!
Ummm dunno if anyone else has thought of this but Thailand is a seedy underbelly in Thailand and a lot of American pedophiles go there looking for children. This was honestly my first thought when i heard there was talk of his genitals being damaged.
Re: bananaballerina – shut up!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion..
I thought he had cancer. Damn. He will be missed never the less.
that is so screwed up that he died and on my birthday
Damn, that was shocking to me, regardless of what people think he was an awesome actor, and for years has provided exceptional entertainment, and will be missed.
