RIP

David Carradine died during auto-erotic asphyxiation that went wrong, according to sources in Bangkok, Thailand, where he was found dead on Thursday. A Bangkok police officer speaking to the newspaper The Sun, said "A rope was attached to his neck and also to his penis".
Carradine's body was discovered in a hotel suite and local reports suggested he committed suicide.

But a statement from Carradine's representative now indicates the actor died during a sex act.
The spokesperson tells TMZ.com, "We can confirm 100 per cent that he never would have committed suicide. It was an accidental death. Everybody is in shock."

In a statement on behalf of her family, Martha Plimpton - the daughter of Carradine's brother Keith - says, "My Uncle David was a brilliantly talented, fiercely intelligent and generous man. He was the nexus of our family in so many ways, and drew us together over the years and kept us connected. I adored him as a child, and as an adult I admired and respected him. "We will all miss him terribly, and are so grateful for everyone's condolences. The passing of someone so loved is extremely difficult under any circumstances."
