Details On The Death Of David Carradine, Accidental Asphyxiation
It was concluded that the cause of David Carradine's death several weeks ago was due to "accidental asphyxiation", or the inability to breathe.
The medical examiner stated he was certain of his findings, but admitted they still had not figure out why: "[W]hy that happened is still what we're working on."
However, Dr. Michael Baden knows he can rule out suicide as the cause of Carradine's death.
"He didn't die of natural causes, and he didn't die of suicidal causes from the nature of the ligatures around the body, so that leaves some kind of accidental death," says the doc.
Though the doctors findings did rule out suicide, they do not rule out the possibility that the asphyxiation could have been "auto erotic", or brought on by sexual activity.
We're sure, for the family, on some level, it's nice to have some more information on his passing and know that he didn't take his own life.

Sure, dying of autoerotic asphyxiation is MUCH better than a suicide, because of course, you want people to remember you as a horny sicko who has to asphyxiate himself to get sexual pleasure…
all over mj, and this came out yesterday around this time…. and you continue to try to make jokes about mj and his fans…. does the manager from the bep's take requests?
im sorry but perez youre site is getting a little bit too filled up with the concept of death!
jeez everytime i come to your site its about death.
and since when did politics have to do with celebrity gossip? perez your starting to go too far.
:(
uhh, he did kill himself. You saying he didn't "taking his own life" because he died from autoerotic asphyxiation is like someone saying "He didn't kill himself. He overdosed." HE took the risk KNOWING how it could end.
Wow, he should have tried licking his own nuts for pleasure like I do…I am pretty sure you cant die from that, just the occasional fur ball.
Hello peeps! Happy 4th of July! Have a great one.
RIP Grasshopper!
Re: JigSaw – Wow, I remember you reported this to Perez yesterday. Way to go, man.
Re: sheba088 – You too darling.
Rest in Peace Grasshopper.
Perez…this is turning into a RIP news site…what?
How sad to be remembered as a desperate old man. There must have been someone else there because if his hands were above his head what would have been the point? Cutting off your oxygen does not give you pleasure it intensifies it while you are being stimulated. Gross… but unless he was using the force who was stimulating him?
Re: sheba088 – You too Sheba! ox
Jesus, how embarrassing for him. He'll forever be remembered as the guy who died by accidentally hanging himself while jerking off. He and the singer from INXS. They'll make a great chapter in "Hollywood Babylon III".
this has nothing to do with Carradine specifically, but consider "He didn't die of natural causes, and he didn't die of suicide so that leaves…"
um…homicide? just sayin. only empirical reasoning, not a conclusion about Carradine. cause of death could be any of the four.
suicide is more purposeful and admirable, in my opinion; but it's nice to die while doing something you enjoy, as long as no one else is hurt
You'd think that by the age of 72, he'd be over this shit. When ever I think of David Carradine, It will be him in womens underwear jacking off in a closet with a rope around his neck & his dick. Not all the movies he made. I wont be able to watch his movies without that image in my mind. Loser
Hey, all you guys, folks all arould this fucking world!
LIVE THE POOR MAN's SOUL ALONE, will you?
It does not matter the way David Carradine passed away, only the way he lived for our entertainment:
GOD BLESS HIM FOR HAD BEEN SUCH A GOOD ACTOR AND HAD MARKED HIS PLACE FOR LIFE INSIDE OUR HEARTS!
Very sad but what I dont understand is how did he tie up his pee pee and his wrists together?
"possibility" of auto-erotic asphyxiation? please. anyone who's seen the photos can tell it was freaky masturbation gone wrong.
That's sad. I remember when he was on Lizzie McGuire a long time ago, but still, that was one of the best episodes. Plus, he produced or directed, maybe both, the show.
So this Dr Baden…is he allowed to comment on a case that is ongoing? Unless he is not involved, and if he is not involved then he wouldn't be privy to any information or allowed access to David Carradine's body…so basically this is some guy who may not even be qualified who has made a comment based on nothing but vague guesses. Well worth reporting then. If they thought it was accidental death it would have been recorded as such and the case closed. STOP REPORTING MISINFORMATION PEREZ, YOU WANT TO BLOG BUT YOU STILL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE YOU 'GOSSIP' ABOUT. Do you just make stuff up if you haven't been told anything genuine. Sort it out Perez
…why do you never mention Angelina Jolie's heroin addiction?
Re: Ultraworld – He wasn't wearing womens' underwear and he wasn't jacking himself off, there was a woman present for at least some of the time that the police are aware of. I don't know the ins and outs of the case but I will say, not suicide as he wasn't intending to die, not homicide as he was not murdered by another person, it was accidental death as the result of sex games. It was up to him what he got up to, i'm sure the thought of you considering him a loser and not being able to watch Kung Fu or Kill Bill was not at the forefront of his mind.
