Hope this hasn't been posted already. But thought this was an interesting tidbits regarding his recent death:

"Kung Fu actor David Carradine was found hanged in a luxury hotel in Thailand on Thursday morning. The nude body was found by a hotel maid, hanging from a clothes bar in the room’s closet. The police believed that Carradine’s death was a suicide at first, but now they have come to believe that it was the result of an accident while taking part in auto-erotic asphyxiation, which is a form of sex play where the oxygen supply to the brain is cut off to produce a more intense orgasm."

"A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope in the room's closet,[17][18] and the Bangkok Post reported that his body was found curled up in the wardrobe with a shoelace tied around his genitals and neck.[19] The same officer said: "Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide but he may have died from masturbation."
