CARRADINE MURDERED?!

description

Bangkok cops revealed they reviewed pertinent video surveillance recordings outside David Carradine‘s hotel room and have interviewed hotel staff. They all but ruled out foul play, Col. Somprasong Yenthuam, the officer in charge of the investigation stated.

According to a hospital source, Carradine’s official cause of death will be listed as "suffocation".   Yet the Carradine Family continue to suspect foul play despite Thai police’s claim that David died alone.

As the ENQUIRER first reported, the marks found were caused by erotic auto-asphyxiation – a masturbatory sex act involving bondage and oxygen deprivation to induce a hallucinogenic state of euphoria.

Meanwhile, a Thai newspaper published a leaked photo of the death scene. The family was "profoundly disturbed by the release in Thailand of photographs taken at the scene of David Carradine’s death."  The photo was allegedly taken by a member of the forensics team at the Nai Lert Park Hotel. 

The photo gives some credence to the foul play charges. Both Carradine’s hands are shown bound ABOVE his head as well as his heavily tattooed genitalia area.  He appears to be clad in a full-body fishnet stocking wearing a brown wig and there’s a woman’s red negligee on the bed.

Experts agree that in most instances of auto-erotic asphyxiation there is usually padding beneath the bonds to alleviate rope burn or swelling and the practicioner keeps a stool or chair close to halt the asphyxiation process so severe injury doesn’t occur.  There is neither visible in the death scene photo although they may have been removed by police.  Experts also say it is possible to free your hands once tied and elevated by ripping the simple knots free with one’s teeth.

Carradine lawyer Mark Geragos has threatened legal action against further distribution of the grisly image and  David’s half-brother, Keith Carradine, has met with the FBI to make a formal request for the feds to open an inquiry into the mystery — and possible cover-up. 

"If the FBI wants to get involved, we will do our best to cooperate,"  Maj. Gen. Amnuay Nimmano said , but only as observers  as dictated by Thai law. "We have nothing to hide."

Geragos also told Larry King that David may have been killed  trying to expose a secret criminal network of Thai kung-fu fighters.

"David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies," he said."And so there is a suspicion that if there was some foul play, than that may be the first area where they should look."

Thai cops say autopsy results are not expected for three weeks – a "normal" time lag.  "Normal" for Bangkok, that is.

The Carradine clan is now seeking an independent autopsy by renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden.  David’s body is expected back in the US Monday.

UPDATE: Reports — autopsy pictures of Carradine on a slab have now been leaked to Thai media!

 Fox is still planning to air tomorrow night’s new episode of Mental guest-starring the late star. In the ep, Carradine plays a famous professor, author and philosopher who’s left catatonic after being zapped by lightning.
