Thai Rath Publishes David Carradine Hanging Photo, Family Outraged

On : 2009 Jun 07

Carradine Death photo

A Thai newspaper has sparked outrage after publishing a photo that appears to be of David Carradine hanging in his Bangkok hotel room.


The photo - which Thai police believe was taken by the forensics team, shows a naked body suspended from a bar in the closet, with his hands apparently bound together above his head. Tattoos on the lower half of his nude body can be seen.


In response to the image, Carradine's brother Keith released a statement that says, "The family wants it understood that, per attorney Mark Geragos, any persons, publications or media outlets will be fully prosecuted for invasion of privacy and causing severe emotional distress if the photos are published."


Carradine, 72, was in Bangkok making a film at the time of his death. His death was initially ruled a suicide but investigators now believe he may have accidentally died while engaging in a sex act known as auto-erotic asphyxiation as a rope was also wrapped around his genitals.

Engaging in such sexual activity at this age is disgusting.
I am sorry that his family is going through all these - first his death and then the public humiliation.
