David Carradine Death Photo Causes Anger, Threats

A Thai tabloid has printed a photo of David Carradine as police found him, showing him hanging, but with some of the more explicit details censored. Nevertheless, the photo as published shows the dead actor hanging, and should never have been published, the family says.

Radar Online was told by attorney Mark Geragos, who represents David’s brother Keith Carradine:

“The family is outraged about the release of these photos.”

Geragos added that he will sue for invasion of privacy and emotional distress if the David Carradine death photo is run in a United States publication.

The David Carradine death photo reportedly shows Carradine with his hands tied in front of him, hanging from the support bar in a closet. Speculation by Thai police is that Carradine died in an auto-erotic asphyxiation accident.

Thai television said the body was flown home to Los Angeles early on Saturday, which Geragos confirmed. The family has reportedly hired forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, a former chief medical examiner for New York City who appears on HBO cable TV show "Autopsy," to examine Carradine's body when it returns to the U.S.

#1 David Carradine book

"David Carradine: The Eye of My Tornado" is a new book about Carradine written by his ex-wife Marina Anderson. I wonder if it will upset the family or if they will accept it, since it's supposed to be a very positive take on the late Carradine.
