Quote :: Actor David Carradine Dead at 72

"Kung Fu" and "Kill Bill" actor David Carradine was found dead Thursday in a Bangkok hotel room, his manager told FOX News.

A Thailand newspaper, The Nation, reported the 72-year-old actor was found hanging.

Chuck Binder, Carradine's manager, said the actor was staying in the Thai capital while shooting a movie called "Stretch." When a producer went to his luxury hotel room, he discovered that the actor was dead, Binder said, adding that the cause of death is "under investigation."

The paper said Carradine had been staying at the hotel since Tuesday but could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the rest of the film crew on Wednesday. His body was later found by a hotel maid at 10 a.m. Thursday morning.

It said a preliminary police investigation found that he had hanged himself with a cord used with the room's curtains. It cited police as saying he had been dead at least 12 hours and there was no sign that he had been assaulted.

Note that apparently he didn't comit suicide,
it looks like an accident while masturbating
the cord around his neck was also attached to his penis Laughing

Quote :: He may have actually strangled himself accidentally while trying to heighten an orgasm while masturbating.

In the BDSM community, the practice is known as “breathplay” or often “edgeplay,” because individuals push the limits of safe, sane sex. Usually a partner is involved just in case a person passes out and needs to be revived.

The great majority of known erotic asphyxial deaths are males. While the mean age of accidental death is the mid-20s, men in their 70s have also been known to die from the practice. If Carradine died in this fashion, his insurance company could not invoke a suicide clause in any policy he may hold and would have to pay full benefits.

The biggest clue that Carradine’s death was due to erotic asphyxia is the fact that he was found naked hanging from a closet pole. He was discovered with a cord around his neck and genitals, which would be part of the act. No suicide note was found.

Sad Story. RIP David Carradine.

On the the famous wikipedia:

Quote :: However it has also been reported that Carradine was found "with his hands tied behind his back."[citation needed] Chuck Binder, Carradine's manager, indicated neither suicide nor accident was the likely cause since "the family has been told Carradine's hands were immobilized (behind his back) by the rope."[23]
