Thai police officers came forward yesterday to report that 72-year-old David Carradine’s death was unlikely to be a suicide because even though he was found hanged in his luxury hotel room, he was also nude with a yellow nylon curtain cord tied around his neck, and a black rope tied around his genitals.

David’s manager Chuck Binder also reported that though there didn’t appear to be any forced entry into the hotel room, he was told by investigators that foul play was suspected to be involved.  An autopsy is currently being performed.

Coincidentally or not, it is also being reported that the Nai Lert Park hotel, where Carradine was found, is located right next to the Tuptim fertility shrine, a sort of outdoor museum of penis sculptures.

Carradine appeared to have been dead for at least 12 hours before a maid found his body yesterday morning. He did not leave a suicide note.

Update: Chuck Binder has just revealed that Carradine’s hands were tied up behind his back with rope, leading authorities to now suspect murder.

Update #2: Carradine’s family is now saying that the Nai Lert Park hotel has so far refused to turn over their surveillance videos to authorities. Sources are also hinting that the hotel might be withholding other evidence from investigators as well.
