Well they finally got him...

I remember watching a DVD of his (while very fucked up) and was assured it was fucking hilarious. Anyway it was a tai chi video with everybody in what might as well have been 70's start trek costumes surrounded by dry ice...

..the funniest bit was at the end when he sat and played some of his song on acoustic guitar, like that was some how related to tai chi.
 
Seems like it was accidental death from erotic asphyxiation:

Carradine 'died during sex act'
Friday, June 05, 2009 - 09:11 AM


The body of American actor David Carradine was found in a hotel room with a rope tied to his neck and genitals, Thai police said today.

The 72-year-old actor’s body was discovered yesterday in his luxury suite at Bangkok’s Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel.

Police initially said they suspected suicide, though Carradine’s associates had questioned that theory.

Police Lt Gen Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope “tied around his penis and another rope around his neck”.

“The two ropes were tied together,” he said.

“It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure due to an orgasm.”

Thai police completed a post-mortem examination on Carradine today but so far have not released the results.

Dr Nanthana Sirisap, director of Chulalongkorn Hospital’s Autopsy Centre, said the post-mortem was conducted because of the “unusual circumstances surrounding Carradine’s death”, but he did not elaborate.

Police Lt Teerapop Luanseng said yesterday that Carradine’s body was found “naked, hanging in a closet”, and that police at the time suspected suicide.

But one of Carradine’s managers, Tiffany Smith of Binder & Associates, dismissed the theory.

“All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide,” she said.

“We are 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 last week and began work on a film titled 'Stretch' two days before his death, Smith said.

He had several other projects lined up after the action film, which was being directed by Charles De Meaux.

Carradine was “in good spirits” when he left the US for Thailand on May 29 to work on the film, Smith said.

“David was excited to do it and excited to be a part of it,” she said.
