He wouldn't have committed suicide, it was accidental.

Death to one of the greats...

Yeah, it's already been posted over in RIP 2009, but fuck...this guy deserves his own thread.

A sad day for sure.

RIP David Carradine. December 8th, 1936- June 3rd, 2009


One of my favorite actors, and definitely one of the most underrated actors of our time. Your work will be missed.

He's getting one.

Yeah this kinda sucks.

A 72 year old actor that seemed to be in good mental health, in the middle of filming a movie and reportedly having a great time while doing so, just decides to hang himself one evening for no apparent reason. It just doesn't add up to me. I suspect there HAS to be more to the story than what's been released publically.

I'm still pretty sure it was auto-erotic asphyxiation.

That's the rumor. I'm pretty sure thats what happened myself from what I've read.

What???



Ha...but I bet you checked didn't ya?

Sounds like one of the most humiliating ways to die possible, for his sake i hope it wasn't so.

if thats what happened - i'm betting he wasnt alone.

Maybe he was with Uma Thurman, and in a moment of heightened passion Uma murmured "Wiggle your big toe!"...

...and he looked down at her feet.



(*groan* get it? Thurman has ugly toes? And umm...bad joke? :o )

i'm more thinking that he was robbed by a couple of hookers or something

Why would they need to kill him to do that? Unless its some sort of a Bangkok Mafia hit.

Its pretty much confirmed now

Thats a bit INXS

Really.....I just don't get it. This guy had some bucks....why not just pay for a wild hooker to rock his world instead of doing that. Also.....how the fuck can that be pleasurable ?

Its been reported in the British press (and not denied apparently) that he wrapped the curtain cord around his neck AND genitals and strung himself up in the cupboard.

Either way, its fucked up.


RIP

Erotic asphyxiation refers to intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal. It is also called asphyxiophilia, autoerotic asphyxia, scarfing, kotzwarraism, or breath control play. Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper. The erotic interest in asphyxiation is classified as a paraphilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association. Psychiatrist Joseph Merlino stated that it meets the criteria for a disorder "because it has the potential for lethality or serious injury.

Now the coroners reports aren't in yet but from what's being reported this looks like a real possibility. and again....I just don't get it. :confused:

Well, I don't think death was the intention with this method for him unless this whole deal is on another level of weird.

Don't knock it till you tried it..

I'm gonna pass on that.

gives a whole new meaning to "choking the chicken"

Pfft. Chicken shit. :p

How disrespectful
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090607/...arradine_death

I dunno, I mean...I don't agree with it but we're only saying this as it's someone we admire, right?
If it's how they're saying, then it's kind of like dying from having your head up a cows ass isn't it - you'd take a few shots of that and get 'em online without a second though to their families feelings.

Just, IMO, you do something monumentally stupid, you've got that coming in this day and age.

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble...

Or dead.........

I think the problem might've been he was trying to get hard..............

hmmm...apparently the same "secret society" that may have killed Bruce Lee also killed David Carradine.

food for the conspiracy nuts.

The New York Post reported Sunday that the attorney for David Carradine's family, Mark Geragos, suggested that the actor may have been killed as he tried to uncover groups working in the martial-arts underworld.

Geragos said the actor's family refuses to believe he died in a sadomasochistic sex stunt gone wrong. The lawyer appeared on Larry King Live Friday night to discuss the death.

On the show , responding to a statement about Carradine being "very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies," Geragos answered "absolutely ... "what that means is [he is] connected to to martial arts and his interest in martial arts. And so there is a suspicion that if there was some foul play, that that may be the first area where they should look."

Carradine's naked body was discovered last Thursday morning in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially suspected his death was a suicide, but have since said it may have been accidental suffocation or heart failure after revealing he was found with a rope tied around his wrist, neck and genitals.

On Saturday morning, a Bangkok tabloid published a blurry photo of Carradine’s body at the crime scene. TMZ reported on Sunday that a "new sharper image ... reveals what appears to be fishnet stockings covering the body. You can also see red women's lingerie on the bed. And, it appears, Carradine may have been wearing a dark wig."

Similar conspiracy theories swirled around the death of another Kung Fu icon thirty five years ago. Bruce Lee died at the age of 32 of brain swelling triggered by a reaction to medication. Suggestions that Lee was killed by a Chinese secret society has been associated with his death since 1973.

Director Quentin Tarantino, noted that the actor would appreciate the mystery around his death . Also appearing on Larry King Live Friday he said, "If the last chapter of his autobiography was 'The Mysterious Demise of David Carradine', that would be perfect."

and the waters get muddier and muddier, taking us to the land of 'we'll never know'


not that it matters ... he's gone - no matter how it happened - and i'll miss seeing him in movies.

I cant truly believe there was any conspiracy or other such thing. The bloke was just into some kinky stuff, nothing more. Whatever rowed his boat.

I agree. Accidents happen. It's just surprising because it's someone we admire and now he's dead and this big, dark secret is out.

you mean ..........
