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.

A second set of disturbing photos is rumored to be leaked to the Thai media- this time of David Carradine’s body on the autopsy table.

Search engine queries for the photos of the crime scene in gossip magazine Thai Rath dominated this weekend as morbidly curious fans sought the elusive picture. Most western news outlets have declined to print the shocking shots out of respect to Carradine and his family.

Carradine’s family is distressed at the widespread availability of the original photo, and brother Keith has threatened to sue any outlets that dare to publish the explicit pic. The Carradine family have contacted high-profile forensic expert Dr. Michael Baden for a second autopsy when the body is released to them..

Some in Carradine’s camp also don’t buy either the suicide or death-by-misadventure theories. Lawyer Mark Geragos appeared on Larry King Live last Friday, suggesting authorities take a closer look at Carradine’s work investigating and uncovering “secret martial arts societies.” Geragos said:

“What that means is connected to martial arts and his interest in martial arts. And so there is a suspicion that if there was some foul play, that that may be the first area where they should look.”

Plans for a funeral are still on hold pending investigation.

The family of the late actor David Carradine are reported to be outraged over a picture of his body published in a Thai newspaper.

The Thai Rath newspaper, a Thai language newspaper published in Bangkok, ran the picture on its front page (above), and a larger version inside the paper. Although we’ve seen the larger version, we won’t be publishing it, although the front page gives some idea about the shot without breaching privacy. The image shows Carradine hanging, although does censor some of the more explicit parts of the shot.

A lawyer for Carradine’s family said that “The family is outraged about the release of these photos” and that the family sue for invasion of privacy and emotional distress if the David Carradine death photo is run in a United States publication.

Carradine’s cause of death is still unconfirmed. The body has been flown back to the United States and will be examined by a forensic pathologist for more details.
