David Carradine's Death Not a Suicide

Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, a former chief medical examiner for New York City who appears on the HBO cable TV show "Autopsy," who was hired by David Carradine's family, has released the results of his forensic examination. He has determined that David Carradine's death was not a suicide, but indicated that further information was required from Thai investigators to determine an exact cause of death.

Dr. Michael Baden said the following in a statement released to The Associated Press through Carradine's brothers, Keith and Robert Carradine:

"To reach a final determination as to the cause and the manner of death we must wait for further information from Thailand, as to the scene findings and the completion of the crime laboratory and toxicology studies that are still being performed."

David Carradine had been found in his Bangkok hotel room last week by a maid. His body was hanging in the closet of his room. A Thai tabloid, Thai Rath, published a graphic image of the death scene that police have said appears to be a leaked forensics image. Carradine's family was incensed when the photo was released, and promised legal action if it appeared in any U.S.-based media.

Speculation in Carradine's death ranged from suicide to accidental death while engaged in auto-erotic asphyxiation.

David Carradine starred in the 1970s TV series “Kung Fu.” His was a controversial choice, made when network executives felt that the starring role in the series could not be carried by their first choice, Asian actor Bruce Lee.

In the series, David Carradine played Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin monk who travels through the American Old West armed only with his skill in martial arts. Carradine actually had no knowledge of martial arts prior to starring in the series, but developed an interest in it after this experience and became an avid practitioner.

Despite the controversy, the series was pretty successful, at least for a time, and spawned a TV movie and sequels. It also became clear that despite eschewing Bruce Lee as the star, the series was quite provided many acting roles for Asian actors.

David Carradine also had a notable movie career, including, of late, a role in the series of movies, Kill Bill. Of late, he has also done a significant number of voiceovers for animated features.
