Uh, oh. As we alluded to yesterday… Umm, auto erotic aspyhxiation?According to the AP who spoke to the Bangok police:
“[Carradine] was found in a hotel room closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals, and his death may have been caused by accidental suffocation.”
No suicide note was found in his room. “The initial cause of death is likely asphyxiation, which was probably caused by the rope that was tied around his neck [and another rope around his genitals],” senior officer, Col. Somprasong Yenthuam said.
Even one of Carradine’s manager’s don’t think it was suicide. “All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide,” said Tiffany Smith of Binder & Associates, his management company. “We’re just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give … and that’s not something David would ever do to himself.”
Man, if we’re wrong, we’re going to hell for that headline, at this point, but it is a question and not a statement. Haskell Wexler, where are you now?
Update: 3:30 p.m. EST: Damn, son! “Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide but he may have died from masturbation,” said police commander Lt. Gen. Worapong Siewpreecha.
