David Carradine autopsy shots set to leak, family suspects foul play in actor’s death

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.
