AceShowbiz - The remains of late actor David Carradine have been flown back to his native U.S. on Friday evening, June 5, it has been reported. A memorial service, meanwhile, is expected to be held next week. Though so, none of David's family members has released any statement regarding his funeral arrangements.
David Carradine was found dead in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel on Thursday morning, June 4 by a hotel maid. At that time his body was in the nude and was in a sitting position, with a yellow rope wrapped around his neck and attached to a closet bar. He was 72 years old.
An autopsy was performed soon thereafter, taking into account the "unusual circumstances" surrounding his death. The procedure has been completed, but cause of death is not expected to be determined until the results from toxicity tests are in. Police Col. Somprasong Yenthuam has stated that a complete toxicology analysis will take about four weeks.
Somprasong also promised authorities will hold a press conference to present their findings. "I'm very careful to not jump to any conclusion about what's happened here. It's my job to give the facts as best as possible. I don't want to make any conclusion until the autopsy is complete," he explained.
Amidst sketchy details regarding David's sudden and mysterious death, another major development has emerged. Adding to previous speculations that the actor might die due to suicide attempt and/or heart failure as a result of a gone-wrong orgasm, his manager Chuck Binder suspected foul play may have played a part in the actor's death.
"I heard from a producer in Bangkok that his hands were tied behind his back and that it's being covered up. How do you get a rope around your neck and around your genitals and do all this by yourself?" said Chuck. "The more I talk to people the more I think there's no way he killed himself. My take is there was definitely foul-play. There's a lot of weird stuff that happens in Bangkok. This isn't L.A. or New York."
