I haven't seen the man, but a R.I.P. is never misplaced.

Quite shocked at that when I read it yesterday, for a start I never thought he was that old, he didn't look it in Kill Bill and that movie was only like 4/5 year ago wasn't it? Shame, he seemed like a good actor. R.I.P.

David Carradine was murdered by a secret kung fu sect, his family has claimed.

Relatives of the 'Kill Bill' star believe he was "assassinated" because he was trying to expose an underworld martial arts group.

The 72-year-old actor - who shot to fame in 1970s TV series 'Kung Fu' - was found dead in a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, last Thursday (04.06.09).

He was naked and had a rope tied around his neck, wrists, and genitals.

Thai police have denied murder claims, insisting the actor died after a bondage game went wrong, but his family's lawyer said there had been "conflicting reports" about the death.

Speaking on the 'Larry King Live' US talk show, attorney Mark Geragos said: "David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies - absolutely. What that means is connected to his interest in martial arts.

"And so there is a suspicion that if there was some foul play, that may be the first area they should look."

Carradine's manager Chick Binder also thinks the star was murdered, because his hands were tied behind his back, and there was a footprint on the bed that didn't match his shoes.

Binder said: "For sure there was foul play. We definitely don't believe it was a suicide. David was a great guy and a great client and a great friend."

What i found even more shocking was when another family member actually dismissed the claims of murder, and that he died whilst engaging in as they put it "Deadly & Kinky sex acts" now all this has gotten even more confusing.

Yeah it does seem a bit weird doesn't it? I've been looking it up and it is very suspicious at the least. I've seen the picture of him in that wardrobe that was published in the paper? And I've seen a picture of him laid down after his post mortem, it does seem very weird indeed. Can't have been a nice way to go from what I've seen and read anyway. :/

^Indeed...and its offical now...The local and international police are now claiming that his death is NOT a suicide. They havent proclamed it as a homocide yet, but many are thinking they will and soon.

And yeah there is clearly more going on than what was orginaly suppsected....hmmm...
