I arrived on the scene a little late to appreciate the nuances of “Kung Fu”, although I did admire a fellow kindergarten classmate’s KF-inspired lunchbox. But “Kill Bill vol. I" is one of my favorite movies, in large part because of the creepy effectiveness of David Carradine.
That suicide is unpleasant is self-evident; but that Carradine’s death may have also been an accident – the result of autoerotic asphyxiation as some reports on the internet suggest – is even more unfortunate for his family and friends.
UPDATE: In a conversation with CW on the matter, he put forth the "other side of the coin" argument to the autoerotic asphyxiation angle - that Mr. Carradine was able to enjoy such pursuits well into his 70's is a testement to the man's zest for life. My "other side of the other side of the coin" response is that if Mr. Carradine was indeed into such libidinous pursuits, why the need to hole himself in his hotel room...in Bangkok of all places?
"...that Carradine’s death may have also been an accident – the result of autoerotic asphyxiation as some reports on the internet suggest..."
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a more embarrassing way to go.
It is only embarrassing if they find and are successful at resuscitating one. Otherwise, one is dead.
