Here's the latest news from Bangkok on the death of actor David Carradine, 72. Fair warning — the Associated Press report contains some "mature content":

 

The body of American actor David Carradine, best known for the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, was found in a hotel room closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals, and his
death may have been caused by accidental suffocation, Thai police said Friday.

The 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially said they suspected suicide, though Carradine's
associates had questioned that theory.

Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his genitals and another rope around his neck.

"The two ropes were tied together," he said. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure."
