Did David Carradine die during a kinky sex act?

That’s what The Sun is reporting.

Carradine was discovered Thursday morning by a maid in his hotel room closet. He was hanging by a curtain rope by his neck.

Initial reports of Carradine’s death suggested suicide. Those reports were vehemently denied by the star’s rep who insisted he had died due to accidental causes. Things became more bizarre when Bangkok police revealed that Carradine had a rope tied around his neck and his genitals when he was discovered.

A Thai police spokesperson told media: “We’ve nothing to add at this stage, apart from the fact that we do not believe anyone else was involved.”

If you recall, INXS singer Michael Hutchence died in 1997 during a similar sex act where he was also found hanged. Apparently the sex thrill is that when said person is about to climax they are deprived of oxygen. This is supposed to intensify the “happy ending,” which in these cases, weren’t so happy.

Carradine is survived by three children, four step-children,and wife of five years, Annie Bierman.
