    If he was murdered, it may be it was done as some sort of way to humiliate him and his surviving family and friends. Sometimes murderers send a message by the way they leave a body, the position or pose.

    Maybe he was with a Married Women and the husband got back.

    His Hands bound behind his back, how can he do this?

    David Carradine assassinated?

    'Kill Bill' star David Carradine's family have claimed the actor was assassinated because he was trying to expose an underworld martial arts group.

    (BANG) -

    David Carradine was murdered by a secret kung fu sect, his family has claimed.

    Relatives of the 'Kill Bill' star believe he was "assassinated" because he was trying to expose an underworld martial arts group.

    The 72-year-old actor - who shot to fame in 1970s TV series 'Kung Fu' - was found dead in a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, last Thursday (04.06.09).

    He was naked and had a rope tied around his neck, wrists, and genitals.

    Thai police have denied murder claims, insisting the actor died after a bondage game went wrong, but his family's lawyer said there had been "conflicting reports" about the death.

    Speaking on the 'Larry King Live' talk show, attorney Mark Geragos said: "David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies - absolutely. What that means is connected to his interest in martial arts.

    "And so there is a suspicion that if there was some foul play, that may be the first area they should look."

    Carradine's manager Chick Binder also thinks the star was murdered, because his hands were tied behind his back, and there was a footprint on the bed that didn't match his shoes.

    Binder said: "For sure there was foul play. We definitely don't believe it was a suicide. David was a great guy and a great client and a great friend."

    But Marina Anderson - the fourth of Carradine's five wives - has dismissed murder claims, saying the actor often took part in "potentially deadly" kinky sex acts.

    She said: "If he was involved in secret societies, it was a secret even I didn't know about."

    Carradine's family has reportedly asked the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) to send special agents from the US to Thailand to investigate the case.

    They are also furious after a Bangkok newspaper printed a photo of the actor's body hanging from a rail in the wardrobe of the hotel room.

    Carradine was fascinated with martial arts since he played wandering monk Kwai Chang Caine in 'Kung Fu'.

    Nearly 30 years later, he played martial arts expert Bill in Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' films.

    If Carradine's death is connected to an underworld group, he would not be the first actor murdered in suspicious circumstances.

    Conspiracy theorists believe martial arts expert Bruce Lee was murdered by Triads - an underground Chinese criminal organization - in 1973.

    BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai police said on Monday that the cause of U.S. actor David Carradine's death in a Bangkok hotel room would not be known until they had the results of the autopsy and toxicology tests in a month's time.

    The police refused to give further details about their investigation into the 72-year-old actor's mysterious death, amid intense media speculation about causes ranging from suicide to murder via accidental autoerotic asphyxiation.

    "We are still investigating but we will not make any assumptions about his death until we have gathered all the facts," the deputy Bangkok police chief, Lieutenant-General Amnoy Nimmino, told a news conference.

    "We have to wait for the toxicology reports, the result of the autopsy and forensic evidence. We will know everything in one month."

    Carradine, the star of U.S. 1970s show "Kung Fu," was filming the movie "Stretch" in the Thai capital when a maid found him dead in his suite at the plush Swissotel Nai Lert Park on June 4.

    The police also refused to confirm the authenticity of a grainy photo published by a tabloid-style Thai newspaper, which said it was of Carradine's naked, hanging body.

    Carradine's family said it was "profoundly disturbed" by the photo, printed on Saturday in the Thai Rath newspaper, and threatened legal action, the actor's brother, Keith Carradine, said in a statement issued by lawyer Mark Geragos.

    "The family wants it understood that ... any persons, publications or media outlets will be fully prosecuted for invasion of privacy and causing severe emotional distress if the photos are published," the statement said.

    Thai Rath, the country's top-selling newspaper, is known for its lively coverage of crime and celebrities. It did not give a source for the photograph and the face could not been seen.

    "I cannot say anything about this photograph," said Amnoy. "The media were not present at the crime scene and this picture was not leaked by the police."

    Initial police reports said the actor had committed suicide, but relatives insisted Carradine would not take his own life.

    Thai police and media then speculated that accidental autoerotic asphyxiation was a possible cause of death.

    The Thai coroner has said it could be several weeks before the results of the toxicology tests and autopsy are known.

    Carradine's family called on U.S. authorities on Saturday to help explain how he died, and a U.S. embassy official in Bangkok said the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was discussing the case with Thai police.

    Amnoy said the FBI was welcome to take part in the investigation, but only after Thai prosecutors had received a formal request from the U.S. government.

    Carradine's family has hired a forensics pathologist to examine the actor's body, which was flown home to Los Angeles on Saturday.

    I don't think he was half Chinese, as I have read on other posts. According to the web sites, he was born in the U.S. by U.S. parents, not remotely Chinese or Asian.
