American actor David Carradine might have died from attempting auto-erotic asphyxiation, Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) director Porntip Rojanasunan revealed on Friday morning.
The 72-year-old actor was found hanged inside a closet in his suite in Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel at 11am 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.
Evidence suggested that he could be trying auto-erotic asphyxiation and he may have suffocated during the act, Dr Porntip said.
She said other facts supporting the evidence were his sexual deviation and a penis shrine inside his room.
She believed nobody else was involved, but said her assumption based on forensic science might not be 100 per cent accurate.
Carradine arrived in Bangkok a few days ago to star in a new movie, Strand.
A penis shrine????? ROFL
Interesting, but not shocked. I vaguely recall an interview many years ago in which David Carradine mentioned that he was very much into porn that he had a large collection.
What I don’t get, maybe I’m misunderstanding that part. How could he tie a string lace to his penis and around his neck and yet his hands were bound with a cord which was also tied around his neck.
He must have been something in the gymnast department to be able to tie his own hands and suffocate himself. They need a homicide investigator.
That just doesn’t make sense. Whats a penis shrine?
