Flashermac Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I thought they knew who did Bob Crane in, just have't proved it. Bangkok Post 5 Jun 2009 MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES 'Kung Fu' star Carradine dead American actor David Carradine has been found dead in a closet in a hotel room in Bangkok. Police have not confirmed whether he took his own life or was murdered. The naked body of the 72-year-old actor was found by a housekeeper in a closet in room number 352 of Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel in the Lumpini area at 11am yesterday. [color:red]Lumpini police said the body of Carradine was found curled up inside the wardrobe with one end of a shoelace tied around his penis and the other end fastened around his neck.[/color] Both of his hands were bound with a cord which was also tied around his neck, said an officer at the station who requested anonymity. Forensic experts said Carradine had probably died between 12 and 24 hours before his body was found. They said there were no injury marks on his body and no evidence of a struggle having taken place in the room. Mysteriously, a footprint found on the bed did not match the shoes worn by Carradine. There was a glass of water in the room. Experts were checking to see if the drink had been tampered with. Police refused to give further details, saying they needed to gather more evidence to determine the cause of death. Carradine was in Bangkok to star in a new movie, Strand. He arrived with a film crew in Bangkok and checked in at the hotel a few days ago. He rose to fame in the TV series Kung Fu, which ran from 1972 to 1975, playing Kwai Chang Caine, a monk and martial arts expert who roamed the American West. He went on to win a Golden Globe best actor award for his role in the movie Bound for Glory, the life story of folk singer Woody Guthrie, in 1976. He also starred in the Quentin Tarantino films Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, made in 2003 and 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Getting a bit strange now. Bound hands??????? Doesn't sound like a suicide to me. Autoerotic-asphyxiation sounded likely before, but not with these new details... Anyway, I'm sure we can rely upon the Thai police to get to the bottom of it. Just look how well they've done about the Santika fire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 He loved asphyxiation SM play but maybe the BG from Demonia wasn't that skilled? I always said imitating Basic Instinct could be dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Isn't Nai Lert the one with the Penis Park in the back? Auto Erotism - That Aus singer from some band did the same as did Heath LEdger??? Why do the filthy rich masturbate - surely they can afford a short time or too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yep Nai lert has the strange park. Nice hotel though. Nope, not auto erotism, maybe he picked a girl at pent club down the road and of course the poor girl wasn't used to SM bondage and thus didn't know that in asphyxiation games you have to untie the rope at one point.

Flashermac Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yep. Nai Lert was a character. He got rich from the white buses, before there ever was a BMTA. He marked his property with bizarre concrete figures - that "buried cannon" at the corner of the UK embassy is one that remains. The story is that a spirit house washed up against his property on Klong Saensaep. Must have been in the 1920s or so. Nai Lert decided to set it up by the klong as a joke, adding some phallic images. The "shrine" caught on as married women seeking children came to pray to the spirit, asking to become pregnant. If they did, they'd leave another oversized palatkik. People came for other requests, which if "granted" also earned the spirit a big walking or flying willy in gratitude. One of the conditions when the land was to be used for a hotel was that the garden and shrine must be preserved. Beautiful grounds at the hotel - I used to spend a lot of time there when I was in publishing and worked only a block away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I am almost positive that hotel used to be the Hotel Hilton International. The hotel changed hands when they opened the new Hotel Hilton International on the other side of the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 The 'phallic park' which, if I remember right, is referred to as a Goddess Shrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Chao Mae Taptim ... I wrote it up long ago for the Bangkok Post and also the now defunct Asia Magazine. It is the late Professor Phaya Anuman Rajadhon who recorded that his friend Nai Lert had set it up originally as a joke, but people took it seriously. http://www.thaiwebsites.com/chaomaetuptim.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
