David Carradine Death Photo Making Today’s Headlines - June 7, 2009
Sunday, June 7th, 2009
David Carradine’s family is outraged after a death photo of the actor has been published in a Thailand tabloid newspaper. Carradine, 72, was found dead on June 4, 2009 in his room at the Swissôtel Nai Lert Park Hotel.
According to recent news reports the David Carradine picture is somewhat shadowed but shows the actor hanging in his hotel room wardrobe with his hands tied in front of him partially nude. I personally have not seen the photos and have no intention of doing so as I believe it to be an extreme invasion of privacy.
The graphic photo of Carradine’s death scene was published Saturday, June 7, 2009, while his family, friends, and fans mourn his death and investigators work to piece together exactly what happened to the “Kung Fu” actor.
David Carradine’s brother Keith is being represented by lawyer Mark Geragos, Geragos told RadarOnline.com that the Carradine family is outraged about the release of the photos and that he will legally pursue any publications that decide to publish the picture in the U.S.
Initial reports regarding David Carradine’s death referred to the incident as a “suicide” but several different theories of what led to the actor’s death have surfaced over the past few day. Some of the possibilities include “foul play” (as in murder) or accidental death while performing the sexual act “auto-erotic asphyxiation.”
The reason for his death has so far been undetermined but those close to David Carradine say that it could not have been a suicide. Carradine was happy, in love with his wife Annie, and working on the film project “Stretch” in Bankok. In a recent CNN interview with Larry King, Carradine’s friends discussed what might have possibly happened to David and shared their fond memories of the star.
