Exactly. And the naked part makes me suspect it was an accident related to auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Apparantly the police found him with a rope around his neck and another around is sexual organ, acording to the tailand police commander.
Reed it from one of my contry newspaper site!

You guy's crack the case even before it hit the news!

It was the 'naked' part in my earlier post that instigated my curiosity

Well thats understandable they use the same sources.

Jet lag, SteamWake, jet lag! The news here were only advanced today!

Dang! If I were ever to be found dead I would rather have it be while banging a broad, not spanking my monkey... What would Bruce Lee do???

He'd probably take an asparin and regret it later

An aspirin? I heard that Bruce died from the "death touch" aka "Dim Mak". Oh man does this bring back memories....

From the latest AP feed -- Carradine's family is livid over the publication of what appears to be a forensics photo:

A grainy photo published on the Saturday cover of the tabloid Thai Rath shows a naked body suspended from a clothes bar in a hotel closet, hands apparently bound together above the head and feet on the floor. The face is blacked out and other areas are obscured.

The paper did not indicate the source of the image, but Thai police said they believed it was a picture of Carradine's body taken by a forensics team. Keith Carradine said in a statement that the family was "profoundly disturbed by the release in Thailand of photographs taken at the scene of David Carradine's death," and threatened legal action against further distribution.

Yep, the plot thickens, I'd say!

Indeed. Was it a case of the famous BKK sex-capades gone wrong?

This is really worrying, but what else can you expect and in a country where many are always on the lookout for ways to make a quick buck.

I'm sure the British paparazzis would have handled the matter much more discreetly.

I think your missing the fundamental point here....it is not about the 'papparazzis' as you put it (but I do think British tabloids have higher ethical and moral values than those in Thailand anyway)....it is about the official source of the leaked information. I can't imagine a Scenes of Crime Officer releasing such material to the press.

It was. I read another article where one of his wife's left him because he was into this stuff. Seems it finally caught up with him.

Just flew over another news snippet that brought the erotic component of the story to my attention (I did not read about Carradine before). If that is true, I can only say: poor idiot.
