David Carradine found dead in wardrobe in suspected sex game gone wrong
David Carradine, the actor who starred in 1970s television series Kung Fu and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films, was found hanged in a Bangkok hotel room yesterday.
Thai police are investigating the twin theories that the death was either suicide or a sex game gone wrong. Carradine, 72, was found hanging in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and other parts of his body.
The actor was in Thailand to shoot a film and checked into the luxury Nai Lert Park Hotel, situated next to the British Embassy, on May 31. He failed to join crew members for dinner on Wednesday night but they did not raise the alarm, believing him to be resting in his suite. A maid discovered his body at 11.30am on Thursday.
Initially, police said they believed Carradine had committed suicide and were not seeking anyone else in connection with the death. "There is no trace of fighting in the hotel room and the room was locked from inside. There is no sign of bruising on his body," police official Pirom Janthapirom said. "We are investigating from where he got the rope because it does not seem it was from the hotel."
However, there was no suicide note and an unnamed officer claimed the death may have been an attempt at auto-eroticism.
