David Carradine (1936-2009)

http://www.david-carradine.com/ This is The Official David Carradine website, if one should be inclined.

One of my most favorite series of all time is "Kung Fu". And Mr. Carradine was one of my most favorite actors as well. So was his father.
I had hoped to formally meet him and his father, before their or my final departure.
I have a hard time believing that he killed himself. Which so far, has not been proven. It is only a hypothesis.
To begin with he was in Bangkok, Thailand while on location for a film. Why would he find it so important to take his life, when he was working on a project? That to me is nonsenseical. Not that I am stating it is impossible. Of course not. I just simply doubt the validity of the above thinking by the local law enforcement officials. I will not be convinced of such, unless I see real evidence, that does not extend beyond reasonable doubt.
I would like to know if there are cameras in the hotel where he was staying? Who did see him on the day of his death? Not to mention the day before. I would like to know what state of mind he appeared to have when he was last seen, and also when he had last taken part in any filming. Who all exactly had access to his room? Was he using drugs? Alcohol? Did he have any enemies of any kind in Thailand? Elsewhere? What kind of training do the Thai police have in handling and investigating a questionable death? Etc.

"The Carradine family's forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden of New York, has concluded that "Kung Fu" actor David Carradine did not commit suicide."

I had major doubts that he had committed suicide, based upon what I know to be factual and common sense. There fore, the coroners conclusion simply confirms what my thoughts were all along.
I must say though, it is looking more and more like an accident. What bothers me though, is if his hands were really tied together, and above his head, how did he accomplish that? I have read of true stories of people knowing how to do this, however, I would imagine it is not an easy feat. How nimble was this 72 year young man?
I have seen the alleged death picture of the actor in a Thai magazine. Is it really David Carradine? It appears that it maybe. However, no matter how I worked that image, I could not see his face at all. So therefore, I continue to have my doubts as to whether or not that photograph is actually of him, instead of it being a hoax and I believe it to be just that.
