Renowned actor David Carradine did not take his own life, as confirmed by an American pathologist who conducted a second autopsy on the Kill Bill star’s body.
Dr. Michael Baden, at the request of Carradine’s family, performed the autopsy after the actor’s body was repatriated from Thailand.
The results revealed that Carradine died from asphyxiation, but it remains uncertain whether his death was accidental or a result of foul play.
Dr. Baden is currently awaiting additional information from Thai authorities to make a final determination.
Dr. Baden stated that the Thai doctor who performed the initial autopsy reached a similar conclusion, which supports his findings.
The actor’s body was discovered by a chambermaid in a closet at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel on June 4th.
Carradine was found n^ked with a cord around his neck.
While there has been speculation about autoerotic asphyxiation being the cause of death, members of Carradine’s family suspect foul play.
Initially, Thai police believed the actor’s death was a suicide, but later acknowledged that it may have been accidental.
Dr. Baden noted that autoerotic asphyxiation still remains a possible cause of death.
Carradine’s family expressed their distress over a graphic photo of the death scene that was published in a Thai newspaper.
Police suspect that the image was leaked from the forensic investigation.
Dr. Baden is eagerly anticipating key details from Bangkok, including toxicology test results, analysis of items found in Carradine’s room, security surveillance footage, and a log of room entries from the hotel’s key card system.
These pieces of information are crucial in determining the circumstances surrounding the actor’s untimely demise.
