BANGKOK/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The family of David Carradine has asked U.S. authorities to help unravel the mystery of his death, amid conflicting reports about how his body was found hanging naked in a Bangkok hotel.
Mark Geragos, a Los Angeles attorney who represented Carradine's brother, the actor Keith Carradine, said on Saturday the family has contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation and filed a formal request to have the FBI contact authorities in Thailand for further information.
"They've done it because of the conflicting reports and the nature of those reports that have given the family great pause," Geragos told Reuters.
Speculation about the death of Carradine, 72, who starred in the 1970s-era U.S. television show "Kung Fu" and the more recent "Kill Bill" movies, has deepened since his body was discovered on Thursday by a maid in the Bangkok hotel suite where he was staying while filming the movie "Stretch."
...Geragos said Carradine's family had no more information than what had been written and said in the media, which was why they were seeking the FBI's help.

LOL - sounds like a good way to go.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carradine
Wikipedia has an interesting explanation of the circumstances of his passing.
Closed circuit cameras show no one else going to his room or leaving.
Careful what you ask for. Our nanny-state gooberment will require a warning label tattooed on at birth.
I think we could even get away with saying "winger wanger." lol
That’s a strong possibility. Homicide needs to be ruled out, and it’s harder to do that in a foreign land. I understand the family’s concern.
