After numerous ill-founded rumors, a medical examiner hired by the late actor’s family has determined that David Carradine died from accidental asphyxiation, and not from any compulsion to take his own life. The 72-year old actor, who starred in more than 100 films, including a celebrated performance in 2004’s, ‘Kill Billl, Volume II’ was found dead in a Thailand hotel room on June 4th. An autopsy was performed the next day in Thailand, but the family hired forensic specialist, Dr. Michael Baden to re-examine Mr. Carradine once he was returned to the States, and today he made a brief statement.
“The cause of death was asphyxiation; an inability to breathe.” Dr. Baden told reporters. “Why that happened is now what we’re working on. He didn’t die of natural causes, and he didn’t die of suicide, so that leaves some kind of accidental death.”
