Professional oriental monk impersonator and Hollywood actor David Carradine was discovered dead under mysterious circumstances early this week in his Bangkok hotel room.
Bangkok tabloid newspapaper, Thai Rath, was one of the first news sources at the scene of the ongoing investigation and printed a front-page photo, which allegedly shows the actor hanging from a fixture in his hotel room, in what appears to be a wig and women’s clothing.
When Carradine was discovered, his wrists and penis were found bound by a length of rope, which was then affixed to a wall-mounted rack, possibly to achieve a state of auto-erotic asphyxiation. Foul play has not been ruled out in the case of Carradine’s death, as it is supposed this could be an elaborate cover-up of a rumored murder by organized criminals, though a motive is not apparent.
Thai Rath’s publication of the photo, albeit without Carradine’s genitalia in view, has caused outrage with his family which claims the newspaper had no right to publish the photograph.
Due to the low quality of the photograph, several interpretations of the situation have been made, such as Carradine was wearing womens’ tights, or his lower extremities were discolored because of blood-loss, and the ever-popular assumption this is not Carradine at all.
Even pictures of the original photo have been blurred since Thai Rath published the images.
This is claimed to be the door outside of the Bangkok hotel room where Carradine was found.
Carradine is best known for his roles as Kwai Chang Caine in the American TV series “Kung-Fu” and the Quentin Tarrantino samurai-western “Kill Bill 2”. Ironically, Carradine played Bill.

Black curly short hair… David have it white and long
The pictures in the newspaper are fake… He is full of tattooes and that male looks way younger, also he have black hair while David have it white
Obviously not him. Dude in the pic looks young. No wrinkles
Yeah,someone passing along bogus pics…or pics of another victim,always happens.
R.I.P. David Carradine.
OMG JOOOOOOHHHHHHNNNNNNNYYYYYYYY!!!
Got 2 more pics of the autopsy here

Thanks, bro!
“On June 5, the Carradine family lawyer Mark Geragos spoke on Larry King Live and dismissed claims of suicide, stating instead that David Carradine could have been murdered by a ‘secret sect of kung fu assassins'”
Fuck yeah.
If they put it that way, I guess it’s believable. I hope Interpol catches these crooks.
Believable? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Nobody catches Ninjas dude, they are like AIDS, SARS, Mad Cow Disease, and Bird Flu. You hear all about how terrible they are but nobody you know ever catches them.
OMFG, and today I watched one of his films (well, he was just an actor, akshully) where he said he was an impotent. D:
R.I.P. :\
RIP Bill………….
That picture of the morge is gross
rigor mortis does that to a body. I’m guessing you haven’t been watching any CSI. Must of been an early shot since the wire is still attached to his nutsacks.
Sorry for him but… who?
I feel really sad…
Why HE had to die????
Because HE like sex in that “special” way.
Read this in yesterday’s papers in fact.
IDK him…
Why is this in sankaku?
The guy knew kung fu, dumbass.
I’m guessing you’re new here. The execution of a few dozen Chinese women was shown here a few weeks ago. The Before and Afterwards on the women where shown too. There you truly get to see what happens when a Rifle round goes in to a head at point-blank range. Hollyweird this aint.
Murder most fowl is often listed as part of this website, mostly involving women on men, women on women, men on women, adult on child, father on daughter, father on son, mother on son, mother on daughter.. and on and on. Either by sex or murder, and that just depends on what happened over in the orient mostly.
Just saw him as a guest star on Fox’s new show Mental. Ironically he does seem to be have a problem in real life…too bad help didn’t get to him on time.
Creepy guy but hell of an actor. RIP.
(For once an article not pertinent to otaku. Good job, kip!)
Cooll!!
Killed Bill
To much S&M can kill an old man.
Good by Bill, Kung Fu.
His family doesn’t believe he committed suiside nor died from masturbation gone wrong, they assumed he was murdered.
Holy crap, the day I watch Kill Bill, the actor who watches bill dies!
OMEN D:
Stop watching movies! Your gunna kill all our actors.
Oh wow, he had 2 sons and 5 daughters.
And this “incestuous relationship”. I wonder.
“incestuous relationship with a very close family member.” from thesmokinggun.com, who is it?
If it actually was suicide… does that make him an anhero?
so the penis torture news have left russia and are slowly migrating to hollywood? cool….whos next?
I am hoping Paul McCartney.
how about Jesse McCartney
second…
now that’s what I call having your nuts in a sling
A post involving the male genitalia getting maltreated or disfigured in some sort of way that’s not from Artefact? I applaud, Kip.
That’s fucked up! Another legend gone by tragic means. He will be missed!
*tears*
A shame…..he was a great lulz actor…. everyone remembers radien and kung fu right?? 😛
Old news is old
and new news is new…
Just don’t say anything..have some respect for the dead..
If this is how he really went out, I say he doesn’t quite deserve it..
Unless you know him personally I don’t think your opinion amount to much.
In that case, neither does yours.
Wow…. No offense, but you are a bit slow on getting some news, Artefact. This has been going for some days by now. Still, it’s kinda sad that the guy is dead. He made his going lulz-worthy, though, for better or worse 😛
Blame me for that. I wrote it.
The most difficult part is acquiring these photos that no other news organization was braizen enough to host, let alone a gallery as comprehensive as ours.
this is not david carridine, look at the body frame, this is a much younger male. Lets have a little more respect for David.
Are you kidding? The picture shown in the newspaper was cleaned up and his body was slimmed out at the waist for it!
The glaring truth that is somehow being dodged by your tunnel visioned eyes is in the positions of his LEGS in both pictures. Rigor Mortis had already set in for the first picture and if you’d look at Carradines’ legs on the second one, they matched!
The Thai authorities where rather prudish since if you notice, a towel was placed over the original blurred picture before it was Blurred. Surprising indeed since I lived there in the ’80s and such things where general shown without such censorship. Hell, an American photographer who survived the Vietnam police action got killed because he was using a telescopic lens and was shot for it.. what a moron. They even showed the dead body in the rags!! It wasn’t odd to see billboards of muy thai fights with BLOOD splattering across it with a head smack with a leg.. though it was just a drawing. Still Kick Ass!!!
so, he still alive ? then who’s that ? it’s a fake news ?
No, he is quite dead.
The question is who is in the photos if not Carradine.
As unfortunate as it is these photos were made public, they show he did do it alone, wasn’t alone, and someone knows the person who was visiting, either fro hotel or movie cast. He couldn’t have tied himself up like that alone.
Agreed.
How did he tie his wrists, neck and genitals in such a way as to strangle himself?
Looks like his feet are on the floor as well…
I’m not normally conspiracy minded, but, this “suicide” doesn’t add up.
Yep,even his family doesn’t believed he committed suiside nor masturbation gone wrong. His sudden and weird death is just doesn’t fit in this bizarre puzzle.
R.I.P David Carradine 🙁
Damn that’s fucked up…at least he didn’t die while taking a shit O_o
or eating a ham sandwich…
Actually I think that would be a far less embarrassing way to die. This is to overshadow his career forever.
You know Carradine’s lawyers have threatened to sue any site that publishes these photos? You do know that, right?
what a weird way to go…
Going for the Blast, Hung Fu Style. Fail.
He was doing the new tv series:
INXS: The Legend Continues, in the rol of Kwai Hang Hutchence
Ah seen whut u done thar.
R.I.P
Bill
is it just me or does this somehow resemble eden of the east in a sense
wow i totally thought that too!!
I noticed the same thing. That woman needs some serious help on Eden of The East.
be careful, they never caught the johnny cutter. she may be reading this
Jesus Christ, say dong or cock or junk…anything but Johnny!
Is your johnny okay? Not that cyborgs need johnnies anyway…
holy shit, i think i dated her a while back…
My johnny will be just fine as long as I make sure that the moment I see a blue haired woman with blue lipstick, I run away.
it’s not just you.
He kinda looks like Raiden from the Mortal Kombat movie.
OMG!
IS THAT YOU HENTAI KAMEN?!
Man you are slow!
I’ve also another pic of him.

Wonder what games they were playing when he died.
Thanks for the fucking memories!!! What is it about ignorant assholes that they will publish and even relish photos like that?
Let the man die with a facade of dignity and don’t rub that trash in his families faces.
I hope that everyone to whom those pictures are titillating, or a turn on or what ever ends up in the same type of compromising situation.
Stay in the closet with your own twisted pleasures please.
“stay in the closet with your own twisted pleasures.” and look where this exact train of thought got Carradine
+1
Oh please, stop being a pussy. You see dead people?
Aside from that posting disturbing pics and articles is just plain old buzzkill. I don’t need this next to anime stories,and other entertainment. Yes I already know the “real world” too much,I don’t come here to be reminded.
I agree (repect the dead, don’t post autopsy photos).
Yeah. I,ve seen plenty of dead people. I’ve watched them die. I’m a Vietnam vet.
I believe in respecting the dead, and I also believe you don’t cause the family anymore pain than they are already in.
what the FUCK.
poor bastard.
How did photos like that ended up on the internet? What the hell? And at least warn about the content of the photo you’re posting. That’s awful…
Purty gross.
Excellent. This is from the autopsy.
It shows his hair was in fact colored, possibly because of a new acting role he was taking on.
Unless someone dyed it hastily as a result of these photos.
If anyone has a clear picture of him hanging without the mosaic, please send it along.
I really don’t know what to say about this.
Farewell, Kwai Chang… T-T
Zhai Zien…
Bye bill, though I thought he he was supposed to die from that one pressure point hit.
“Kill Bill Volume 3 Carradine’s Demise”.
ohh fuck man!!! not penis
Maybe he really died from… other pressure point -_-
An assassin from Hokuto Shinken?
Good one
Awww… I guess I can rule Kill Bill 3 out?
R.I.P…
You were first comment and failed that bad?
