As soon as David Carradine's hanging death in Bangkok was reported in the media, the rumors started flying. Was it a true suicide or an accidental death through asphyxiation ala Michael Hutchence of INXS fame?
The news leaked out slowly-David Carradine had both his throat and his penis tied up. Not your typical suicide there. But that wasn't the end of it as some people were saying that he also had his hands tied (and we are talking in the literal, not figurative sense of the words here). How could this be possible in a suicide or accidental auto-erotica? (Auto asphyxiation incidentally, according to the esteemed Wikipedia accounts for 250-1000 deaths in the United States alone.)
Family and friends of the deceased actor are saying murder, and not just an ordinary murder either. According to the Vancouver Sun, one lawyer is claiming "that secretive martial arts sects might have been behind the death" because of Carradine's investigations into secret societies who were associated with martial arts. No word exactly yet on what exactly constitutes a martial arts secret society, but I'm sure we'll have more information soon.
One of his ex-wives (number four in fact) is calling bullshit on the secret society theory, claiming that he probably died of sexual asphyxiation, but others disagree, pointing to the fact that his hands were tied and that there was a footprint on the bed not matching Carradine's.
The FBI has been asked to investigate by the family, but whether this has happened yet or not, I do not now know.
