Culture: Classy: A Thai newspaper prints David Carradine death photos

  • His family is very upset about the photos. Body photos of Carradine, who might’ve died in a disturbing, accidental way, were apparently shown in a Thai newspaper. His family, clearly upset, has threatened to sue. Beyond the photos, Carradine’s family asked for assistance from the FBI in the case. Lawyer Mark Geragos, who works for David’s brother Keith, explains: “All we really know is not much more than what the public knows, and that’s disturbing.” source

Culture: Your eyes might bulge after hearing how David Carradine might’ve died

  • Startling reports Carradine, whose death was initially reported to be a suicide, got a bit more complicated with reports that he was hanging by his genitals as well as his neck, in what might have been an act of autoerotic asphyxiation.
  • What is it? Autoerotic asphyxiation, for those of us a bit more pure and with sensitive ears, involves preventing oxygen from getting to the brain to improve sexual pleasure. In case it sounds like playing with fire, it kind of is. Protip: Never do this. Ever.
  • Historical contextCarradine would not be the only one to die of this way. Former INXS singer Michael Hutchence was widely believed to have died in a similar way when he was found dead in his Sydney, Austrailia hotel in 1997. source

Culture: David Carradine was found hanged. Was it a suicide?

  • His family is in shock. They have the same belief we have. There was no way David did this to himself.
