Second Autopsy Rules Out Suicide in David Carradine Death Mystery

A second autopsy performed on the body of the late David Carradine Thursday has ruled out suicide as a cause of the actor’s death.

Dr. Michael Baden, a top forensics expert hired by the late Kung Fu actor’s family said Carradine did not commit suicide, but that more information was needed from Thai investigators to determine the true cause of death.

In a statement given to the Associated Press, Dr. Baden said:

“To reach a final determination as to the cause and the manner of death, we must wait for further information from Thailand as to the scene findings and the completion of the crime laboratory and toxicology studies that are still being performed. The autopsy is only part of the analysis.”

Speculation has run rampant since David Carradine died in a Thai hotel room. People are reporting murder, suicide, sex games gone wrong, etc. Thai tabloids have even published David Carradine death photos of the scene and autopsy photos, but until a proper scientific investigation is allowed to run it’s course, we will not know for sure what happened.
