You gotta admit, dying by autoerotic asphyxiation while waiting to begin filming a movie entitled "stretch" is a trifle ironic.
I was talking with my wife about this yesterday.  Which of the two do you think carries a bigger stigma:  Suicide, or dying by accident during freaky sex?

tough. you'd have to apply the dinner party test.

mention suicide or mention auto-asphixiation at a dinner party. do people dive in with relish, or do the awkwardly change the subject?

... I guess it does depend on who you eat dinner with. I can imagine it going both ways.

The latter.

The former can play out as a tragedy that is in some cases understandable and even laudable: a old fellow might choose to off himself, for example, rather than facing terminal decline. No shame or disgrace in that. 

The latter is always going to be somewhat shame-inducing.

Huh. Didn't know Carradine was a member of the British Conservatives.

:lol:

QuoteKung Fu star David Carradine was dressed in a woman's wig and fishnet stockings when he was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room, it has been revealed.

Red lingerie was also folded on the bed and an erotic photograph pinned to the wall - supporting theories that he accidentally killed himself during an act of auto-erotic asphyxiation.

The fresh revelations about the four-times-married 72-year-old's passing will further disturb the Kill Bill star's family.

They were shocked yesterday by the publication of what appears to be a crime scene photo showing his body in a Thai newspaper.

A grainy photograph showing a naked man with both hands bound at the wrist  and suspended above the head was published in the Thai Rath tabloid.

The face is blacked out and other areas obscured. Thai police believe the photo was taken by a member of the forensic team and leaked to the newspaper.

Keith Carradine, the actor's half brother, said in a statement that the family were 'profoundly disturbed by the release in Thailand of photographs taken at the scene of David Carradine's death,' and threatened legal action against further distribution.

Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood.

Since Carradine was found last Thursday there have been conflicting reports on the circumstances of his death.

Family members insist the Kill Bill star would not have committed suicide and his U.S.-based lawyer Vicki Roberts claimed the star had been murdered.

Relatives went on to suggest he had been assassinated for delving into the affairs of secretive martial arts sects associated with crime.

A panel member on the Larry King show on U.S. television said: 'David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies.' ...
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Completely not true.  The photo is not of David Carradine, it is of a Thai person with a thick head of black hair who tied himself up in a cheap hotel room.  Thai police have not claimed anything, it's made up by a reporter.
