What a shocker it was to hear that Kill Bill’s David Carradine was found dead in his Bangkok hotel room on Thursday. Even more shocking were the rumors that Carradine had committed suicide whilst filming a movie, hanging himself in his closet.
But the most shocking part of this tragedy was that Carradine apparently had not tried to knock himself off; he was simply trying to jerk himself off. That’s right: there wasn’t only a rope around his neck, but also one around his genitals.
It was recently revealed that within their divorce papers, Carradine's wife mentioned that he had "deadly sex habits."
Chie coroner Nantana Sirisap of Bangkok performed the autopsy. “This certainly was not a natural cause of death,” he told reporters.
However, the actor’s manager insists that there was another person in the room before Carradine died—and, in fact, that foul play must have been involved—since his hands were tied behind his back.
Bangkok investigators are still trying to determine whether or not Carradine intentionally killed himself—or if someone else killed him.
Which category would auto erotic asphyxia fall into?
Carradine isn’t the only known celebrity who may have died from his sexual tastes. Wicked hot INXS singer Michael Hutchence is believed to have died from the practice as well.
