Actually with more info coming out it wasn't suicide it was accidental. You don't want to know why it actually an accident.
Wow, for such a fan you seem to take all your knowledge from a movie about him instead of his actual life. There's no proof that Lee created Kung Fu, only his wife's allegations. You think that if it were true, wouldn't he have at least tried to sue some people back then? I guess you think Bruce Lee died from that Demon in Medieval armor killing him in his dreams or something.
I have little real power, I just know that trolling in a RIP thread will get one a timeout. Like I have said before, there is only one man here that wields the banhammer. If they had posted their opinion once and let it be, they would most likely still be here today.

I've only skimmed through this thread but the evidence does appear to be autoerotic asphyxiation. http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=412917>1=28103 [rquoter]Police: Carradine death may have been accidental June 5, 2009, 6:20 AM EST BANGKOK (AP) -- The body of American actor David Carradine, best known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu," was found in a hotel room closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals, and his death may have been caused by accidental suffocation, Thai police said Friday. The 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially said they suspected suicide, though Carradine's associates had questioned that theory. Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his genitals and another rope around his neck. "The two ropes were tied together," he said. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure." Thai police completed an autopsy on Carradine on Friday. But Police Col. Somprasong Yenthuam, superintendent of the Lumpini police station, which is handling the case, said results would not be ready for at least three weeks because the cause of death was unclear. He called the time lag "normal." Dr. Nanthana Sirisap, director of Chulalongkorn Hospital's Autopsy Center, told reporters that the autopsy was conducted because of the "unusual circumstances surrounding Carradine's death," but did not elaborate. Police Lt. Teerapop Luanseng had said Thursday that Carradine's body was found "naked, hanging in a closet," and that police at the time suspected suicide. But one of Carradine's managers dismissed the theory. "All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide," said Tiffany Smith of Binder & Associates, his management company. "We're just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give ... and that's not something David would ever do to himself." Carradine had flown to Thailand last week and began work on a film titled "Stretch" two days before his death, Smith said. He had several other projects lined up after the action film, which was being directed by Charles De Meaux. Carradine was in good spirits when he left the U.S. for Thailand on May 29 to work on "Stretch," Smith said. "David was excited to do it and excited to be a part of it," she said by phone from Beverly Hills. Filming began Tuesday, she said, adding that the crew was devastated by Carradine's death and did not wish to speak publicly about it for the time being. Aurelio Giraudo, the hotel's general manager, said Carradine checked into the hotel May 31 and he last saw him June 3. He said Carradine chatted with staff and even played piano a few nights in the lobby as well as flute which the "guests really enjoyed." "I was a fan. I had a very nice talk with him when he checked in," Giraudo told The Associated Press. "He was very much a person full of life. I mentioned to him that I had seen (the movie) "Crank" with my family and that was the last smile he gave me." Giraudo said a chambermaid discovered Carradine's body, adding that she knocked and entered after there was no response. Police arrived shortly thereafter. Somprasong said there was no evidence there was anyone else in the room at the time of Carradine's death. Carradine, a martial arts practitioner himself, was best known for the U.S. TV series "Kung Fu," which aired in 1972-75. He played Kwai Chang Caine, an orphan who was raised by Shaolin monks and fled China after killing the emperor's nephew in retaliation for the murder of his kung fu master. Carradine also appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby. He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino 's two-part saga "Kill Bill." Bill, the worldly father figure of a pack of crack assassins, was a shadowy presence in 2003's "Kill Bill — Vol. 1." In that film, one of Bill's former assassins (Uma Thurman) begins a vengeful rampage against her old associates, including Bill.[/rquoter] I wasn't a big David Carradine fan and thought of him more as campy than as a serious actor but RIP. Suicide or not a tragic end.
the new info totally changes the story. although the police never did specify which neck the rope was tied around.
Does anyone recall how the guy from Hannibal describes this...? Someone can tie you and let you do these things to yourself... and watch you... and then when they see you're in trouble, they freak out and LEAVE (no forced entry). That could have happened, also. Like I said, it's sad that anyone dies... but don't dance around someone's death, man. Perhaps an "under the table" ban-warn message would have sufficed as a precaution, and still, if they don't get it, spelling it out on a post? Meh. I've reported probable offenses and you guys don't act upon them... but I don't see how these guys without "feedback links" would have listened.
Ok, very sad that he died and had to die this way but Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha Heh Heh Heh
Im unsure what your point is Swollllly You want us to take the time to attempt to contact each person that is on the bubble and then give a public warning? Screw that. I give warnings in thread so others can see what isn't permissible. If they choose not to take the warning to heart, then they(or anyone else) have no reason to whine about not knowing. as for reported posts....in the short time I have been seeing them, the ones that deserved action were handled....the others are normally ppl whining about someone they dont agree with or dont like being proven wrong. If you dont mind, there is no need to continue this in this thread...if you got some beef with how things are handled here...Feedback is where you need to put it. and you would probably be wrong...its obvious for all to see that trolling in a RIP thread is what earned both of them the timeout. I do not decide who gets banned round here...
So was it one rope that was wrapped around his genitals on one end, and then wrapped around his neck on the other? Or two separate ropes?
Man, this has gone from tragic to just plain bizarre. When they said accident, I was originally thinking he may have fell down in the closet and the rope wrapped around his neck accidentally hanging himself. Then, this other rope tied to his....doh! Now, it appears it was an accidental solo erotic episode hanging. Umm... .
Most likely he had hired a prostitute to do those things to him, and he had a heart attack or something when he had an orgasm, and the chick split. No evidence, but that is probably going to wind up being that it ends up being.
I think the human need to get freaky- to the point of endangering your life- is kind of awesome and horrifying. I guess Carradine's death is better than dying of some kind of long, drawn out illness in a rest home. Anyway, RIP.
As stated previously, this is a John Burditt novel set-up, you guys should read them. It's like trashy novels that chicks read but for guys: http://books.google.com/books?as_au...oup&ct=title&cad=author-navigational&resnum=4
