As reported Thursday, film and television actor David Carradine's lifeless body had been discovered in his luxury hotel room closet in Bangkok, Thailand, but police officials have now focused their attention on an accidental death rather than a suicide, which is what evidence had initially pointed to.

"When I arrived, I saw the dead body with a string of rope tied around his neck, also tied around his wrist," stated Police Colonel Somprasong Yenthuam, the Lumpini Police Superintendent. The officials also claimed that another rope had been tied around Carradine's genitals.
"The two ropes were tied together," said Lt. General Worapong Chewprecha. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure." Either way, there was no evidence of another person being in Carradine's room of the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel at the time of his death.
Hollywood was abuzz with the actor's untimely death, as friends of the late actor immediately denounced the possibilty of suicide, including Quentin Tarantino, who directed Carradine in the Kill Bill films (2003-04) that introduced the aging star to a whole new generation.
"All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide," insisted Tiffany Smith of the actor's management company Binder & Associates. "We're just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give...and that's not something David would ever do to himself."
Carradine had flown to Thailand only last week to begin filming a French movie titled Stretch, which is one of several upcoming projects he had been signed to appear in. He had just three days left of filming. "David was apparently very happy about this new role and about filming again," claimed the film's spokesperson Monica Donati.
A chambermaid discovered Carradine's nude body in the hotel room, but no suicide note had been found. Carradine, best-known for his role in TV's Kung Fu series, had appeared in well-over 100 movies over the last 45 years. He leaves behind a wife and three children.
