AceShowbiz - There were more than 400 guests attending the private funeral of actor David Carradine which was held at the Hall of Liberty in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 13. The invitation-only services were held indoors and lasted for more than two hours.
Mourners included David's family, co-stars, and celeb friends. Michael Madsen, Jane Seymour, Tom Selleck, Frances Fisher, Daryl Hannah, Lucy Liu, Edward James Olmos, Ali Larter, and James Cromwell were seen on the spot. Rob Schneider was also in attendance. He was seen carrying a basket of flowers.
All guests were spotted being handed with programs featuring a smiling photo of David in a tuxedo on the cover, and a sketch of him on the back above lyrics to The Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider," the Associated Press reported.
David Carradine, 72, was found dead in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel on Thursday morning, June 4 by a hotel maid. His body was in the nude and was in a sitting position, with a yellow rope wrapped around the neck and attached to a closet bar.
An independent autopsy on David's body which was performed by Dr. Michael Baden, the forensics expert hired by his family, has proven that he didn't commit suicide. "The autopsy findings and the evidence thus far available demonstrate that Mr. Carradine's death was not the result of suicide," Dr. Michael confirmed on Thursday, June 11.
The real cause of David's death is yet to be determined. Investigation, in the meantime, is still undergoing. David's brothers Keith Carradine and Robert Carradine have previously issued a public statement, asking for privacy and understanding while the family mourned the loss.
