Carradine may have died from sex act: Thai police

BANGKOK (AFP) - - US actor David Carradine may have died from a sex act gone wrong, Thai police said Friday, as they probed the evidence after the "Kung Fu" star was found hanged in his Bangkok hotel room.

A maid at a luxury hotel in the Thai capital where he was staying found Carradine hanging naked and bound in a closet Thursday morning, they said. He was 72.

"There was a rope tied around his neck and another rope tied at his sex organ, and the two ropes were tied together and hung in the closet," police commander Lieutenant General Worapong Siewpreecha told reporters.

"Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide but he may have died from masturbation," he said.

The star of 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" and the "Kill Bill" movies was in the Thai capital to shoot a film called "Stretch."

An initial autopsy report revealed Carradine died from a sudden lack of oxygen and his body showed no signs of struggle, a hospital worker who had read the report told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"He died from acute lack of air," the worker said, adding that DNA samples from a rope and the body were being studied to see if Carradine had tied the binds himself.

A full autopsy report was expected within the next day, while drug and alcohol tests were being carried out along with forensic investigations, hospital staff and police said.

Police have questioned members of the film production crew, who told them the actor "drank beer from morning until evening the day before he was found dead," Worapong said.

Forensic expert Porntip Rojanasunan, who works with Thailand's justice ministry, told AFP the death appeared to be caused by an "auto-erotic accident."

Police officer Pirom Janthapirom said that hotel security cameras showed no one going in or out of Carradine's room, which had been locked from the inside, he told AFP.

A US embassy spokeswoman confirmed it was currently organising the repatriation of the body, but she was not able to say when this would take place.

Local police said they had passed all relevant documentation concerning the actor to the American authorities. The Bangkok hospital that had carried out the autopsy said it had released Carradine's body late Friday afternoon.

A restaurant worker at the Nai Lert Park hotel where Carradine had been staying said the actor had entertained staff by playing a piano in the hotel lobby on three nights.

"He seemed very cheerful, he was laughing and joking with the staff," the restaurant worker said, adding that Carradine had a double brandy before going to bed at 10:30 pm on Wednesday night.

The producer of "Stretch," French firm MK2, said Carradine had been found three days before filming was due to end.

A spokesman for the company said Carradine's death "could be accidental."

A spokeswoman for his Los Angeles agents refused to speculate on the cause of death.

"The Carradine family is devastated by the news of Davids passing," said Julie Nathanson. "There will be no further comment until more information can be confirmed."

Carradine was part of an acting family that includes father John and brothers Keith and Robert.

He was born on December 8, 1936 and broke into show business through musical theatre on New York's Broadway.

While best known for his role as the fugitive half-Chinese Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s TV drama "Kung Fu," Carradine had a long and varied career in film.

He appeared in Martin Scorsese's "Boxcar Bertha" in 1972, played legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie in the 1976 film "Bound for Glory," and was cast by director Ingmar Bergman in "The Serpent's Egg" set in Weimar Germany.

Over the following two decades Carradine continued to work but failed to find success outside of cult "B movies," as he was troubled by drugs and alcohol use.

In the mid-1990s, he reprised his signature role in "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues," which found a home on US television for a further 60 episodes.

Director Quentin Tarantino later called on Carradine to play the title character in the 2002-2003 revenge-action films "Kill Bill" and "Kill Bill II", roles that earned Carradine a fourth Golden Globe "Best Actor" nomination.

He was married five times, most recently in 2004, and was the father of two daughters.

Carradine may be victim of auto-eroticism

Published: 5/06/2009 at 02:25 PM

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

The 72-year-old actor's body was found inside a closet in his suite in Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel about 11am on Thursday.

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.

Police examiners ompleted an autopsy on Carradine on Friday, but did not release the conclusions.

An initial medical examination revealed Carradine died from a sudden lack of oxygen. His body showed no signs of a struggle, a hospital worker who had read the report told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"He died from acute lack of air. Forensic workers have looked at nail and tissue samples to check if the DNA matches DNA found on the rope,'' the source said.

If the samples matched, it would suggest Carradine had tied the ropes himself.

Dr Nanthana Sirisap, director of Chulalongkorn Hospital's autopsy centre, said the postmortem examination was necessarybecause of the "unusual circumstances surrounding Carradine's death".

"This is not a normal case,'' she said.

Carradine recently starred in Quentin Tarantino's two-part movie Kill Bill.

His first major role was as the fugitive Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine wandering the American West in the hugely popular 1970s TV drama series Kung Fu - a role which was originally proposed for martial arts legend Bruce Lee. He subsequentrly appeared in scores of movies and television shows.

Carradine arrived in Bangkok a few days ago to star in a new movie.
