As I stated in my initial posting of this story, David Carradine was probably having a swell time with some teenage Thai prostitutes before going off to that big bamboo patch in the sky. TMZ reports:

Now we know why David Carradine’s family thinks foul play may have been involved in the actors death — his manager tells us Carradine was found with his hands tied behind his back.
Thai police are now recognizing David’s death may not have been a suicide, by saying, “It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or [whether] he died of suffocation or heart failure.” Police say he could have died from an “accidental suffocation.”

This is why you have to go for the older prostitutes. The young ones have small hands that just can’t manipulate our complicated whacking off knots. So I’m told.

Further reports indicate that David Carradine may have killed himself. BBC:

Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and body on Thursday morning.

Well that sure put an overly depressing spin on things. Here I was hoping that David went out in a coke-fueled blaze of glory surrounded by professional Thai vaginas.

The coolest Kung Fu hippie this side of Bruce Lee was found dead in a hotel room in Taiwan. BBC reports:

Kill Bill and Kung Fu star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room, BBC correspondent Jonathan Head has reported.
The 72-year-old was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.

Well, on the plus side, David has been able to keep his dignity, thus far. But everyone knows there’s a 400% chance that this story will end with two dead hookers and half of the blow in Colombia. Nobody dies in Thailand without basically triple-dog-daring your body to do so.

RIP.
