...And not in the way you expected

BANGKOK – Police are speculating that accidental suffocation, not suicide, may have caused the death of American cult actor David Carradine, whose body was found in a hotel closet in the Thai capital with a rope tied to his neck, wrist and genitals.
Celebrity blogs and social networking Web sites were abuzz with news of the death of Carradine — best known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu." The circumstances under which he died have led to speculation that the 72-year-old actor may have been engaged in a dangerous form of sex play known as auto-erotic asphyxiation.
If you were David Carradine, which would you prefer?  To have people believe you committed suicide, or death by kinky masturbation?

What would be messed up is if a murder set the person up to die this way on purpose, causing police to dismiss it and the person's name to forever be tainted.

^ Not possible.  Autopsies are incredibly accurate at determining the cause of death.  The murderer would have to force Carradine at gunpoint to asphyxiate himself to death in such a humiliating way.  In which case, Carradine would have just taken the bullet.

So that's why he didn't show up to PP last night.

At this point, it wouldn't matter how you'd rather die, since you're already a corpse. :P  Sucks that he died either way, especially how sudden it was.

At least he didn't chop his balls off and die.

Has anything come to light or is this going to be one of those celebrity deaths forever shrouded in sensationalist mystery?
