I just got home from work this afternoon. Just learned the shocking death of “Kung Fu” TV star and Hollywood actor, David Carradine, found dead in Bangkok. It is alledged as a suicide, he was found hanging in the hotel room.
Variety Reports:

Wow!!!!!!!!!! Shocking! Sad also, as David Carradine is one of the best actors in Hollywood ever. Nobody ever thought David was depressed and suicidal.

Edit to add: TmZ confirms his death wasn’t suicide, it was accidental. He was found nude in the closet of his hotel room with a rope tied around his body. His reps confirmed that he would never kill himself.
My question is, what the hell was he doing naked in a closet?
I don’t mean to sound sick or anything but was he doing some kind of sexual bondage by himself? He definitely had to be doing something sexual privately for himself, doing some of kind of sexual masturbation thing or something. Whatever he was doing.

It’s called auto erotic asphyxiation. It’s supposed to heighten orgasm. Here’s a story on it:

Yep, I think that’s definitely what it is. While there is nothing wrong with people having some private sexual perversion as we all do, this auto erotic asphyxiation, sounds wrong and very dangerous. This is an embarrasing way for someone to die. This is worse than Elvis Presley dying while taking a shit on a toilet.
I understand that people have weird sexual fantasies but this asphyxiation thing is messed up.
I’m willing to bet that David has been doing this “auto erotic asphyxiation” thing for many years, but he survived every one of them until now. Maybe this will be a wake up call for other elderly pervs to think twice before doing something like this.
