The mainstream news media is referring to death of Kung Fu star David Carradine as a "suicide by hanging."
Distasteful to mention it as it may be, the actor was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, reportedly naked with a rope around his neck, and genitals (later amended to "other parts of his body"):
"Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and genitals on Thursday morning. The US star was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder. Mr Binder said the news was 'shocking', adding: 'He was full of life, always wanting to work... a great person.'"
Bang-kok? Well hung?
(Then again, it could have been murder.)
UPDATE: The Daily Mail quotes Chuck Binder as calling the death "accidental."
