Found hanged in his hotel room in Thailand. That doesn't sound suspicious at all.

How many people commit suicide at 72? Sounds odd just by itself.

Back in the day it was a good show.....Kung Fu (1972-1975)

Someone who finds themselves looking at something they can't face?

I'm only 40, but if I found out I had alzheimers I'd probably take a long walk in the woods and eat a bullet.

I seriously hope that you will reconsider your thinking.

Looks like Beatrice really did Kill Bill.

I can relate. Maybe he found out he had uncurable cancer, Alzhiemers, could be anything like that. Or it could be something entirely different.

No telling.

I agree I would go and eat a bullet too. Actually I hope I get to choose the time and place rather than waste away in a nursing home drooling and crapping myself.

[Garufa]

I hope that he wasn't trying to do something perverted.

That's no way to go.

Rumor has it he was in East Tn before leaving for Thailand and may have "selenium" in his system.

I believe they are still testing.

Someone snatched the pebble from his hand.

I've told my wife many times this same thing. I told her not to hate me for doing it, but I'd rather not go out like that.

Funny thing is, most of the reports I'm finding say "natural causes", this is the only one with anything suspicious.

CNN.com changed their story to reflect the unnamed police source.

It keeps getting weirder...

The death of American actor David Carradine may have been accidental suffocation, Thai police said Friday.

The 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially said they suspected suicide, though Carradine's associates had questioned that theory.

Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope "tied around his penis and another rope around his neck."

"The two ropes were tied together," he said. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure due to an orgasm."

Thats one hell of a way to go.

He will be missed.

[TGO David]

Yeah and Thailand... come on, their national bird is the Hooker. Chances are he had some help and she ran off when he stopped responding.

A guy on another forum I post on suggested this right off the bat. The thought had crossed my mind.

[TGO David]

Speaking of other forums and this particular topic, I read this one elsewhere earlier and damn near spit my coffee all over my desk...

I think the principle question which remains to be answered is: did he die with a smile on his face?

On a more serious note, my experience has been that individuals seeking the "rush" or high from alcohol, drugs, sex, or high risk activities inevitably end up developing a greater and greater tolerance and, thus, must ingest or pursue more and more to achieve the desired effect, inevitably leading them to "raise the bar" to dangerous and often fatal levels.

I've known more than a few fellas who hooked up with some gal who really rocked their world by giving them something they had never had before and it ****ed 'em up pretty good. Who wants beer and pretzels after having sipped caviar and champagne, right? So they end up chasing bigger and bigger sexual highs and eventually get burned. That's not to say everybody who takes a little walk on the wild side is going to end up in a Motel 6 with two dead hookers and a chimp wearin' a bellhop's cap (or a Bangkok hotel with a rope around your neck and your joint), but it can be a dangerous game to play if you've got that type of "addictive" personality, for lack of a better description.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, keep on the sunny side of life.

I don't think I could be talked into putting a noose around my penis or my neck, for that matter.

[I_Like_Pie]

He probably did this after getting his bill from Swissotel

They are way overpriced...

Not again, at least...

[Mike.357]

okay, i will say it.

He was cumming and going at the same time

[Smith]

It reminds me of Cheap Tricks lead singer. He died by "accidentally" hanging himself during some off kilter "fun". Sad really.

[Guest SUNTZU]

No way this guy was into erotic asphyxiation.
