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.
The local Bangkok newspaper, The Nation, cited unidentified police sources as saying Carradine was believed to have committed suicide and had hanged himself with a curtain cord in his suite at the Park Nai Lert Hotel.

Oh God! That is really awful if he took his own life.

Looks like it. I found some more detail which I put in the OP.

This is just sad beyond words. He was still active in the movies and as far as I know was doing well otherwise too.
-
I can't imagine the circumstances that would bring his successful life to this conclusion.
RIP, David Carradine. I hope you got what you wanted.

Man, I used to LOVE "Kung Fu" when I was in high school......

Hmm...around his genitals too? autoerotic asphyxiation?

For some reason, it was the Bostonian Drunkard who broke this news to the primitives on Skins's island.

He has a few movies to still come out. I'm thinking autoerotic asphyxiation also.

I don't know. At 72, autoerotic asphyxiation is usually limited to waking up lying on your stomach with a morning "pulpy".

Damn, that wasen't in the link I posted in the Lounge.
Bill killed Bill, who'da thunk it?

I hate to say this, but the only thing I've ever seen where someone 'hangs' themself and their genitals are involved is autoerotic asphyxiation. There have been some accidental deaths when a person passes out before their act is complete and they can remove the rope.
Really enjoyed the things he was in. A shame however it pans out.

Remember Grasshopper, take longer old squirrel jump off limb.
Seems he forgot, huh?

I liked him in Kill Bill...it does seem like an accidental death...what a way to go out though...

It certainly sounds like he added the kinky twist, to going out with hookers and blow in Bangkok.
Wowzers, RIP.

I loved him in the Larry Cohen classic, Q:The Winged Serpent.
RIP
I know in the past he had struggled with alcoholism but I thought the put that all behind him.

Carradine Family Request FBI Investigation (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090606/ap_on_en_mo/as_carradine_death)
BANGKOK – The family of American actor David Carradine has asked the FBI to help investigate his death after his body was found in a hotel closet in Thailand's capital with a rope tied to his neck, wrist and genitals.
Pornthip Rojanasunand, director of Thailand's Central Institute of Forensic Science, said the circumstances under which Carradine died suggest the 72-year-old actor may have been performing auto-erotic asphyxiation.
On Friday, however, police said the actor may have died from accidental suffocation or heart failure after revealing that he was found with a rope tied around his neck and penis — leading to speculation that Carradine may have engaged in a dangerous form of sex play.
