Tom Selleck, Jane Seymour, Lucy Liu, and hundreds of other friends and family members turned out to say goodbye to David Carradine at his funeral in Los Angeles Saturday evening.

Held in a chapel on the grounds of Forest Lawn Cemetery, guests arrived all manner of dress, including kilts, Native American headdresses, leather fringe jackets, sandals and multi-colored cowboy boots. Even a group of Hell's Angels was there to bid goodbye to the actor, who was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok on June 4.

A white hearse containing Carradine's casket arrived at the cemetery around 3 p.m., accompanied by an escort of Hell's Angels on motorcycles. The service started about two hours later after an estimated 400 people filed into a chapel on the grounds of the 400-acre cemetery to mourn the star, who was best known for his leading role of Kwai Chang Caine on TV's Kung Fu.

Following the service, a group of Lakota tribal members burned incense outside the chapel and gave blessings to a number of funeral-goers.

Sounds like either auto eroticism (more frequent way to die than you might think....google it) or he was playing a game with some Bankok nymphs, died in the process and the nymphs ran away leaving him to be discovered.

I'll just leave this here.

[FreedomGuru]

Lots of these people aren't "friends" they're there to celebrate the way he died.

Since you are psychic and know all and know what those people are at the funeral for, what are the winning Mega Million Lotto numbers?

[PeteB570]

At 72 more should be so lucky.

I liked the parts he played during his career and will not hold his end against him.

[Gay State Conservative]

Every human being should be mourned when their time comes.

Can't agree with that.Some people...including more than a few denizens of Hollyweird...are truly worthless and,therefore,undeserving of such consideration.IMO.

I just pray that he was welcomed into Heaven by God, our Father.

Same here.But,as the Bible says,it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.And if *that's* true it's gotta be even more difficult for the typical denizen of today's Hollywood to do so.

Just my 2 cents' worth.

They also released a statement by Dr Michael Baden of New York that indicated that a second autopsy determined Carradine had not killed himself.

I thought the ruling was that he hadn't commited suicide. I know it is a subtle difference in wording, but doing something dangerous and stupid without intending it to end in your death can end as "killing yourself" without being suicide.

[angkor]

It’s all too arcane for me.

He was a 72 year-old divorcee from Hollyweird, he was in Bangkok, he had a known fondness for “ropes”.

I think it’s pretty clear what happened.

[GOPJ]

When Chuck Norris dies we’ll see if these folks show up - then we’ll know...

[dead]

If he had died saving a child from being run over, the Hell's Angels would NOT have been there.

Hell's Angels are not there because he died masturbating in stockings.

They're there because they dig all that goofy mystical martial arts crap. They fancy themselves modern western shogun warrior poets. They get themselves goofy chinese tatoos and write bad poems about their imaginary blackbelts and guys they had to kill for fear of losing face.

RIP Grasshopper.

OK

RIP Grasshopper (just please, please don't be a kink role model for teens who don't need to die your death)

[JohnnyP]

Oh well, at least he died doing what he enjoyed most.

[charmedone]

My wife's cousin died in the same manner about 20 years ago. The cause is asphyxia caused during a sexual method in which a person strives for an enhanced orgasm by choking himself while masturbating.

Carried too far, death results. No one else was there. It was NOT suicide.

My question is why so many Freepers are quick to condemn others. I thought we forgave. His “quirk” was harmless to everyone but himself. I just hope all on here are so perfect that God grants the ability to condemn. Somehow I doubt it.

No wonder we are called names by the left. Could they be deserved?

So, who was there, other than the Village People?

[Erasmus]

In divorce papers, Anderson claims Carradine regularly pestered her to take part in “deviant” sex games during their marriage.

I guess she didn't understand that he was only trying to show her the ropes.

[tioga]

“...forgive us our sins, as we forgive others...” - I am sure you do not disagree with those words.

Have a peaceful and happy Sunday!

[Charlespg]

I guess you'll just have to excuse these people for attending the funeral of a friend.

there are some small minded people here sometimes.
Who cares if the hells angels, Lakota tribal members went to his funeral

[A.A. Cunningham]

Judging behavior, which is required by Scripture, is quite different than eternal condemnation which is left to Almighty God.

His “quirk” was harmless to everyone but himself.

Some of his ex-wives would vehemently disagree with you.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

I smell troll farts this AM.

Me, I’m still laughing about this loser.

How do you think he explains himself while he stands before his Maker in a pair of fishnet stockings and a noose around his uhhh parts?

“Well, you had to have been there . . .”

[Clintons Are White Trash]

I agree, let him RIP - judge not lest you be judged.
