As I predicted, the initial examination of his body with the naked eye, which is called the “gross” examination, was inconclusive, in part because further tests, which take days to complete under any circumstances, were required. These tests include the microscopic examination of small samples of each of the organs as well as toxicology tests of the stomach contents, blood, bile and urine. The toxicology tests look for the presence or absence any chemicals including prescription drugs, recrea...

At first the death the considered a suicide, since Carradine was found dead with a cord around his neck and hanging from a closet bar. But now that additional details have surfaced about his death, the family is asking for the FBI to help get some answers. Carradine died in Thailand while working on a movie. This complicates matters in that it has been difficult to get the exact details of what happened. A maid apparently found the actor with a “rope tied around his neck and one around his genitals.” “It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not, or he died of suffocation or heart failure,” said police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha.” I can certainl...

David Carradine has been found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok. He was shooting a new film and was “found by crew members after failing to turn up for a dinner.” Several sources have said he was “found hanged in his luxury room and is believed to have committed suicide.” Many fans know Carradine from his 1970s series Kung Fu and movie Kill Bill. Our sympathies go out to his family.
