Paging Law & Order! I hope you’re getting to work on this ripped-from-the-headlines script, because there are some fascinating development in the mysterious death of David Carradine:
Now we know why David Carradine’s family thinks foul play may have been involved in the actors death — his manager tells us Carradine was found with his hands tied behind his back.
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.
The Thai police are now admitting that his death may not have been a suicide, although they say there is no evidence of anyone else in the room at the time of his death. The theory, of course, is that Carradine was engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation, a dangerous kind of sex play.
Pornthip Rojanasunand, director of Thailand’s Central Institute of Forensic Science, said the circumstances suggested that Carradine may have died performing auto-erotic asphyxiation, which is said to result in a form of giddiness and euphoria — similar to alcohol or drug intoxication — that enhances the sexual experience.
“In some cases it can suggest murder, too. But sometimes when the victim is naked and in bondage, it can suggest that the victim is doing it to himself,” said Pornthip, who is considered the country’s top criminal forensics expert but who did not take part in the autopsy. “If you hang yourself by the neck, you don’t need so much pressure to kill yourself. Those who get highly sexually aroused tend to forget this fact.”
Oh, man. I just don’t know what to say about this. From what I’ve heard, I’m gonna go ahead and back the autoerotic asphyxiation theory. It’s not at all uncommon for this kind of sex play to result in accidental death. My guess, though, is that there was someone else in the room with him, who bolted after David died. The suicide theory doesn’t make sense here — no one kills themselves with a rope around their genitals.
My prediction is that the blood work will show that he was drunk and high as a skunk.
Beet…I know this is a sad story but how could you miss making some sort of PORNTHIP joke? :)
That was my first thought…. come on! His name is Pornthip!
haha i was abt to make the same comment :P
I don’t even want to *think* about his death being from a sex act….
Why not? That’s how I want to go…..death by sex act!
Isn’t he just as likely to have wrapped a rope around his own genitals as he was to wrap a rope around his own neck? Both seem to be plausible given that he was performing a dangerous sex act.
I don’t want to know this.
Also, let this be a lesson to all of us. Never engage in any life threatening form of masturbation. Do you want to be remembered as the gal who bought it while twiddling the fiddle with a string around her neck? Nope.
It doesn’t matter what else you did in life, if you die with your dick in your hand, that’s all people will remember you for.
I get the whole rope around the neck thing, but I guess I am clueless as why it would be wrapped around the genitals. I assume your hand would feel better than rope…
It amuses me to listen to females speculate about what feels good on a cock.
It amuses me to read you speculating that krissylu is female.
LOL donkey Punch =D
I can’t help saying this but… it had to happen in BANGKOK =]. i feel so bad… i can’t decide if i think someone else was in the room… bangkok…hahaha ='[
HANGKOK…..!!!!!!!
it may be Dutch but here they are alos thinking it may not be suicide http://scarlett-gossip.com/?p=31
I didn’t really need to know this. Ugh.
But his hands were behind his back. That sounds…not consensual.
Not unless it was S&M Bondage type stuff. Sounds to me like someone else was there – how else could his hands be tied – and he was accidentally killed and the other person left. I can’t think of why anyone would want to kill David Carradine, and it doesn’t sound like he was robbed.
Yeah, my husband thinks it was a Thai prostitute.
ew! ew! ew!
and: wasn’t there a singer that died of this sort of thing a couple of years ago? (i just googled it, it was michael hutchence of inxs…)
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can’t be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me………
if his hands were tied i think that can rule out suicide. how do you tie your hands and then hang yourself? i go with the theory that he had a hooker in the room, things went too far and the hooker panicked and ran away.
One thing is for sure ….. this is not going away anytime soon. Would be nice for the family and his memory if it turns out that he was a victim in all this. My gut tells me different though, whether he had help or not, he had some part I think in this. I just hope when I am 72 this is not my idea of fun in the bedroom ….. yikes
