We wanted to leave the David Carradine death story alone because Kung Fu was chill and making fun of people dying is never funny unless they die of choking on a wiener or something. Which is pretty close to what may have happened to Mr. Carradine. Yesterday morning he was found dead in a closet in a hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand, and early reports said that it was suicide, and he was discovered with a rope around his neck. Turns out that wasn't the only thing lassoed up. TMZ has a new update:
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.
Thai police are now recognizing David's death may not have been a suicide, by saying, "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or [whether] he died of suffocation or heart failure." Police say he could have died from an "accidental suffocation."
We suppose that if you're in your 70s, getting your dick strangled in Bangkok is a pretty glamorous way to go. Kung Fu? He got hung, foo'.

Hey, give the man some respect. He deserves it.
I remember hearing about this and saying it was sort of weird, that he was in the midst of shooting a movie and something seemed fishy and my husband goes "DUDE I bet he was into that auto erotic asphyxiation shit" and the NEXT DAY they come out with the news of the rope around his junk.
