So it’s looking pretty definite that David Carradine died pleasuring himself—and in an ill-advised, highly dangerous manner, but still… he died pursuing some fleeting sexual pleasure.
Actor David Carradine, star of the Kill Bill movies and and Kung Fu TV series, has been found dead naked after reports claiming an apparent sex act went wrong – similar to how INXS singer Michael Hutchence died….
But police sources have told The Sun in London that Carradine may have died after he attempted an erotic asphyxiation act when he wrapped a cord around his neck. A police officer said: “A rope was attached to his neck and also to his penis.”
Lieutenant Colonel Pirom did confirm the rope was connected to his neck and other parts of his body.
When the news first broke, no one hesitated to label Carradine a suicide. Now that more info has emerged and it seems clear that Carradine died during “an erotic asphyxiation act”—masturbating while depriving himself of oxygen (which is a highly dangerous thing to do)—people are saying it’s rude to speculate, leave the man alone, have a little respect. But no one objected when people were saying that he killed himself. There was nothing rude about labeling the man a suicide, nothing disrespectful about leaping to the conclusion that Carradine was in so much despair that he took his own life.
So it’s worse somehow that his death was accidental? That he didn’t mean to kill himself? That he died happy?

has anyone else considered the panicked hooker theory?
“oh shit, i just killed bill, i’m fucking outta here”
i like to think that by age 72, i’d know better than to do this alone. duh.
An accidental death is much better for the beneficiary of a life insurance policy than a suicide is.
But it is long past time that Surgeon General ought to deal with depression as a health condition which leads to a suicide rate double the homicide rate, and which also contributes significantly to homicide rate, substance abuse, rates of incarceration, a reduction in workforce productivity, and errors in judgment leading to accidental death and injuries.
God damn my editing. Try to read the previous post as if it made sense.
Yes. It is worse. Grow up, douchebag.
He was working some kung fu on the little grasshopper and suddenly things went horribly …
Wait! What happened? Did a hack actor die?
Damn, I miss all the important stuff.
personally,i feel that Mr Carradines death, because of the way he was found, the media respectfully should keep his death quiet, because we still dont really know the truth about what really happened. anyway, if you were found tied up like this , would you want people to remember you this way especially his family. personally, some death cases should be held quiet from the public at least that’s my opinion, end of story!

It’s hard to discuss such an awful death. I’d better say what I really loved. He was so excellent as Woody Guthrie , although Carradine was actually a better singer than Guthrie and didn’t sound much like him, still it’s a great performance.
It is a very sad event in deed anytime someone who just wanted to get off that ends up dieing as a result is very sad to hear about. I hope he is laughing in heaven about this little mishap and reflecting more upon his legacy as a great actor and martial artist.
