Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, a former chief medical examiner for New York City who appears on the HBO cable TV show "Autopsy," who was hired by David Carradine's family, has released the results of his forensic examination. He has determined that David Carradine's death was not a suicide, but indicated that further information was required from Thai investigators to determine an exact cause of death.

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.

This morning we woke up with the news that the suicide fact of well known Hollywood movie actor David Carradine is disputed.
