      The plot thickens.... dun, dun, dun...

      Carradine's cause of death remains unclear: Thai police

      Thai police said Friday they have completed an autopsy on American actor David Carradine, but results won't be ready for at least three weeks because the cause of death remains unclear.

      Carradine, best known as the star of 1970s TV series Kung Fu as well as Quentin Tarantino's pair of Kill Bill films, was found dead in his Bangkok hotel room on Thursday morning. A maid at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel discovered the 72-year-old actor's body hanging in the closet of his room.

      Police initially said they suspected suicide.

      However, on Friday, Lt.-Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was discovered nude, with ropes around parts of his body.

      "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not, or he died of suffocation or heart failure," he said.

      Death speculation
      Police continue to say there is no evidence there was anyone else in the room at the time of Carradine's death.

      There is speculation that Carradine died of autoerotic asphyxiation, a life-threatening means to heighten sexual arousal by robbing the brain of oxygen.

      A member of the actor's management team rejected the theory that the actor committed suicide and said he had been in good spirits when he left for Bangkok on May 29 to film a new movie entitled Stretch.

      "All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide," Tiffany Smith of Binder & Associates, which managed Carradine's career, told The Associated Press from Beverly Hills, Calif.

      "We're just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give ... and that's not something David would ever do to himself."

      Carradines showbiz family
      Raised in Hollywood, Carradine was a member of a show business family. His father was character actor John Carradine, and his brothers include actors Keith Carradine, also a singer, Robert Carradine and Michael Bowen.

      David Carradine, who was married five times, also has two daughters, Calista Miranda and Kansas, both actors.

      Though he started his career on the New York stage, he eventually made the switch to television and movies in the mid-1960s, working with such acclaimed filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman, Roger Corman and Robert Altman.
