David Carradine Murdered: Found With Hands Tied Behind His Back

When David Carradine’s body was discovered hanging in a closet in his Bangkok hotel room, police assumed it was suicide. But new details from Carradine’s manager reveal Carradine had his hands tied behind his back. Read more below.

Carradine’s manager and friends deny the actor could have committed suicide.

“I can tell you 100 percent that he would have never committed suicide,” Tiffany Smith, who along with Chuck Binder managed the Kill Bill star,told People magazine. “He was too full of life.”

David Carradine, 72, was in Bangkok, Thailand working on the movie Stretch when his nude body was discovered Thursday morning. Carradine’s body was in a sitting position, with a yellow rope wrapped around the neck and attached to a closet bar, said police Col. Somprasong Yentuam, chief of the Lumpini area station. “We believe that Mr. David committed suicide but it is suspicious,” said Yentuam.

Even more information has come out which causes you to believe David Carradine’s death was not a suicide. CNN is citing police sources who said police and rescue workers in Thailand told them “the actor’s neck and genitals were found bound with rope.”

The CNN report says “a yellow nylon rope was tied around the actor’s neck and a black rope was around his genitals.”

Chuck Binder, Carradine’s manager, told CNN “I do not want to get in the middle of this whole investigation, but this guy said to me for sure there was foul play.”

Carradine has spoken very openly of his past battles with drugs and alcohol and thoughts of suicide, but his manager says the actor had been in good spirits, eager to work on the current film and three more lined up when he returned to the United States.

“We are not saying it’s an accidental death because we don’t know,” says Smith. “Right now we are just letting everyone know that it’s under investigation and we’ll see … I just know he didn’t do this to himself.”

The actor’s family was stunned by the news. In a statement, Carradine’s niece, actress Martha Plimpton, expressed the family’s sense of loss. “My Uncle David was a brilliantly talented, fiercely intelligent and generous man,” Plimpton said.

“He was the nexus of our family in so many ways, and drew us together over the years and kept us connected. I adored him as a child, and as an adult I admired and respected him. We will all miss him terribly.
