Experts have declared that David Carradine’s Death was not a case of suicide, although the definite cause of his death is still unclear, sais the pathologist hired by Carradine’s family.
“The autopsy findings and the evidence thus far available demonstrate that Mr. Carradine’s death was not the result of suicide,” Dr. Michael Baden said in a prepared statement released through the Associated Press Thursday. “However, 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.”
The Thai police has immediately said that the actor’s death was a possible case of suicide. However, as details around the death emerged like the actor being nude and a chord being found tied across his wrists, neck and genitals, speculation that the actor died as a result of an auto-erotic act became rife.
Carradine’s brother Bruce said, “In a sad way, I’m glad to hear it confirmed that David didn’t commit suicide. I never believed he took his own life. He just had too much to live for.”
“His is a devastating loss for our family and we greatly appreciate the compassion pouring in from all over the world,” Keith, the actor’s other brother, says. “We wish to express our gratitude to the government of Thailand and the Lumpini Police Station in Bangkok for their support and cooperation and to the U.S. Department of State for their assistance.”
