"..had rope around his neck and genitals.."

I know we've had enough Carradine posts but this one adds a new twist.

BANGKOK — Police are speculating that accidental suffocation, not suicide, may have caused the death of American cult actor David Carradine, whose body was found in a hotel closet in the Thai capital with a rope tied to his neck, wrist and genitals. Celebrity blogs and social networking Web sites were abuzz with news of the death of Carradine _ best known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu." The circumstances under which he died have led to speculation that the 72-year-old actor may have been engaged in a dangerous form of sex play known as auto-erotic asphyxiation.

What a way to be remembered.

It was probably the twist part that killed him. Literally hung by the bollocks eh?

As long as he was over 18 and it was consensual. :rolleyes:

Always the tell tale sign, i remember one of our dogs going after a bitch in heat, he got hit by a car, but i swear, the dead dog had a smile on his face.

I spose when you reach your 70's the good old fashioned **** into the sink just doesn't cut the mustard anymore.

Captain-America

If he was sexing himself why did he feel the need to do it in a closet?

No, it was known that he was found naked and hung and figured it was suicide, it mentioned nothing about genitals or auto-erotic asphyxiation as far as I'm aware, or at least none of the like.. 10+ articles I read said anything like that.

10 you say?
You're really interested in auto-erotic asphyxiation, aren't you, Liah?

*Hides the rope

smk89

whatever floats your boat i guess

Ginny

It was mentioned in the first article I saw concerning his death, the day it happened.

DarkJager

I was just thinking how sad it is, that this man that entertained us all with the legendary series Kung Fu, will now only be remembered as the guy who died in a Bangkok hotel closet pulling the plums off himself

ytareh

Yet another example of the depths that the media will stoop to ...

Latchy

I remember about 10 years ago , some Tory party guy in London died in same circumstances except he was found with an orange in his mouth :eek:

So he did a Michael Hutchence, died having a Tommy Tank. There are worse ways you could go I suppose.

I can think of worse ways of going

I use a US forum and when the story broke, a couple of hours later people in the thread were talking about rope around his balls

Anyways..

Someone should go and check if Amanda Knox was in her cell at the time.

A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine...having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.

galwayrush

Aged 72, died in action. A better way to describe the Kung-Fu expert's departure.;)

Generally the Pole in the closet is the best option for tying your rope too in a hotel room. Good weight baring minimal risk of breakage. Light fittings just don't cut it. At home of course you'd have hooks fitted discreetly...



...Apparently anyway

:cool:

Many people embarrass their family by coming out of the closet.

David Carradine embarrassed his trying to come in it

myspace forum?

i found out about the genitals when it happened, they mentioned it on the bbc webpage but it was taken down and replaced with bodypart i think. u can see it on the discussion page of his wiki entry

InkSlinger67

This is quite disturbing although its kinda like a glimpse into the future and how most boardsies will go out, probably myself included.

Carradine, Hutchence, <insert boards username here>.....all victims of asphyxie-****

Please, sponsor a weird wanker today!

Sangre

He was developing a new technique in Thailand called Hangcok.

He certainly made a balls of that hanging.

Latchy

He bought the rops on a stopover at Wangking , just south of Nanking

I thought Wan King was a town in China until I discovered Smirnoff.

It was on the BBC websites article about him the day it all came out.

Sean@boards.ie

He would not be the first celeb to die like this. didnt yer man from inxs or what ever die in a simialr manner?

If it is good enough for celebs to be at this malarky I think it is time the common people knew what the bloody hell they were up to. Obviously without the whole dying bit.

I have a rope here and I have taken safe search off google. I'll report in later.

Don't be long, we can't hang around here all night waiting on you.

Latchy

The practice involves temporarily cutting off the supply of oxygen to the brain to heighten the effects of a sexual climax.

Jeeze why would anybody in their right mind want to cut of the supply to their brain ? ffs , going to all the bother ,it must be some climax .

Firetrap

I suppose once you get one killer climax like that, you can never go back.

Turns out one needs more than 5 foot of rope. B&Q visit needed

Had a bash using fishing line but it kind of bites into the skin a bit too much.

Yep, that was the problem here.:rolleyes:

This would never happen to Chuck Norris.:cool:

Yeah the closet probably was the only spot that he could tie a rope to. Michael Hutchence was hanging on the door wasn't he though, probably one of those wee hooks...not a stitch on him..no way was that suicide. Who would want to be found in the buff? Poor Grasshopper:(. Wonder though how he managed to goose himself. I know when you hang yourself your legs are dangling..but his couldn't have been unless it was a very high closet.

Ginny

I would think they might kneel/lean forward and so not need the pole to be that high.
The one thing that I was wondering about, is this stuff not a bit dodgy to be doing on your own, would it not be safer to have someone else participating to make sure nothing bad happened?

Sharpshooter

This is the closet thing to crazy I have ever been.

Thats what I was wondering....and doesn't it take the best part of 10 minutes for someone to die from hanging? Surely if he was pulling like crazy he would be finished in ample time.

Didn't they say in Hutchence's case that no one else was involved, I'd say it's a very private thing maybe not information about yourself you'd trust just anyone with.

I just bought North and South too, David played a cruel plantation owner in it.
I can't watch it in the same way now.
R.I.P. Mr Carradine.:(
