BANGKOK - A THAI police commander said on Friday that US actor David Carradine, found hanged in his Bangkok hotel room, may have died from a sex act gone wrong.
'There was a rope tied around his neck and another rope tied at his sex organ, and the two ropes were tied together and hung in the closet,' Lieutenant General Worapong Siewpreecha told reporters.
'Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide but he may have died from masturbation,' he said.
The 72-year-old actor had been staying in a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel, said Lt Teerapop Luanseng, the officer responsible for investigating the death.
Coroners at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn hospital said they had not yet determined the cause of the 72-year-old?s death and were waiting for the results of a toxicology screen. 'We are now running tests and then we will decide the cause of death,? the hospital's chief coroner, Nantana Sirisap, told Reuters.
'All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide,' said Tiffany Smith, of Binder & Associates, his management company. 'We're just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give ... and that's not something David would ever do to himself.'
