Oh my...... The grasshopper has moved on to another plane. This is truly sad news.

RIP Kung Fu master.

It may not have been suicide. It may have been autoerotic asphyxiation.

Yea I don't buy the suicide notion and the autoerotic asphyxiation is a bit of a stretch given Carradine's age but its possible. Reading over the article and what I've learned over the years he was a man with allot to live for and I'd be more apt to believe he got strung up by a hooker and her pimp.

I'm glad to see that others don't think it was suicide. It just doesn't make sense.

From an interview (several years old) that I saw excerpts from today, he has battled depression and suicidal thoughts for a number of years...I just hope that wasn't it though. He'll be missed...

It was, and a report stated that at one time. It has since been changed to protect his reputation I guess.

What a way to go . Masturbating in a closet while hanging yourself with a rope.
I guess he " came & went " at the same time.

Very sad grasshopper.

 

[vurbano]

I don't understand why he would do it. Its just disgusting.

Suicide rarely does.

Who commits suicide at the age of 72? Something doesn't add up.

Yes, it is sad that the grasshopper has patience no more, or maybe he know has the ultimate patience. Not sure.


RIP.

Sadly, people 65+ have a higher suicide rate than any other age group.

Both direct, and the indirect stuff that doesn't get included in the suicide stats.

My sisters mother-in-law died 3 months after refusing further chemo treatment.

My own mother in law refused food and fluids, causing her body to shut down.

After watching my wife die a slow and painful death from cancer, I don't know how I would handle a diagnosis these days. I know that I would not be as agressive on treatment as we were for her. She wanted to keep fighting, and we did, but I feel that I didn't do her any favors by not letting her go during a crisis two years earlier.

It may not have been suicide. It may have been autoerotic asphyxiation.

But Fox & CNN are reporting that this might have been the case. Evidently he was naked with the rope tied around his neck & genitals.

I hear ya J. In 1983 my father was having his 3rd round of cancer. He was diagnosed terminal and he wanted to take his own life, he told me so. I wouldn't allow that to happen and had him hospitalized for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, that took an entire year and he was in misery for most of it.

Two years after his passing my mom got the word of terminal cancer. They told her that they might try some kind of therapy or other but there were no guarantees. She elected to let nature take its course and I was relieved, rough as that was.

In 2003 my brother was diagnosed terminal with two kinds of cancer. He and I talked about it and he was ready for the final curtain. I was with him, a 1500 mile trip for me, when his body said it was time. He was unconscious and the doctor told me the many ways that they could make him live another couple of months, but once again, no guarantees. I asked the doctor to make him comfortable. He passed the next morning and for the first time I felt like I did the right thing.

There are times, in life, when it is probably best to let life pass as it is meant to be.....

This story just keeps getting weirder...

He was found in a sitting position, in a chair. Hands tied behind his back, at the wrists. Rope tied around his neck and genitals.

Auto-erotic asphyxiation is one possibility, but how'd he get his tied hands behind his back, and why? Something doesn't quite add up here...

 

[MikeD-C05]

That is weird . I thought the story was he was hanging from the closet with a rope around his neck and genitals. Obviously auto erotic asphyxiation . But if he is now found in a seated position in a chair with his hands tied around his back, then it sounds like murder instead. Weird, kinky, murder or accidental death from a heart attack brought on while someone was trying to dominate him? I guess death by bondage and discipline sounds better than hanging death while masturbating in a closet. What is funnier and I'm not making this up ,is that the movie he was filming over there was called "STRETCH".
