Carradine death 'erotic asphyxiation
American actor David Carradine might have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation, Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) director Porntip Rojanasunan said on Friday morning.
The 72-year-old actor's body was found inside a closet in his suite in Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel about 11am on Thursday.
One end of a shoelace was tied around his penis and the other end fastened around his neck, while his hands were bound with a cord which was also tied around his neck.
He could have been be trying auto-erotic asphyxiation and may have suffocated during the act, Kunying Porntip said.
She said other evidence supporting this theory included a penis shrine inside his room.
She did not believe anyone else was involved, but admitted she could not be 100 per cent sure.
Carradine arrived in Bangkok a few days ago to star in a new movie, Strand.
