LOS ANGELES (AP) — David Carradine's widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit Thursday against a French company handling the actor's last film, claiming it failed to provide proper services to protect him.

The lawsuit is against MK2 S.A., a French company responsible for the production of the movie "Stretch."

The lawsuit claims the company promised to provide Carradine the best possible amenities and an assistant to help him navigate Bangkok but left him behind for dinner on the night before the actor was found dead.

"Defendants were negligent in failing to follow industry standard and provide David Carradine, the performer, with sufficient assistant during the course of filming Stretch in Bangkok, Thailand," the lawsuit states.

Officials at MK2 reached Friday morning in Paris had no immediate comment on the lawsuit.

Carradine, star of the popular "Kung Fu" television series and films such as "Kill Bill," had been in the city only three days. The lawsuit also claims Carradine's widow, Anne, has run into difficulties collecting on an insurance policy that MK2 was required to have for the actor.

Carradine, 72, was found hanging naked last June in a suite at a luxury Bangkok hotel. The lawsuit does not offer any additional details about Carradine's death. Thai authorities have never released the results of their investigation.

The lawsuit claims Carradine's assistant and other film staffers left the actor behind for dinner after failing to reach him in his hotel room. He called the assistant an hour later but was told the group was across town and he would have to make his own arrangements that evening.

According to the film database IMDB.com, production on "Stretch" was halted earlier this year. The site lists nearly 100 film credits for MK2, dating back to the late 1960s.

The lawsuit does not spec

Okay, guy makes a movie called STRETCH when he's found dead HOW again, kids?

Am I the only one going to hell for laughing my ass off at this?

WTF were they supposed to do? Provide him with a room that had no corded materials? Take him out for Thai hookers and a case of Bangkok Black C***?

Lady, if your husband is found dead from wanking you might not want to draw more attention to that fact.

Is this for real ??????

This man was old enough to be someones Great Grand Pa.  Did he have a history of locking himself in a closet to place a rope around his neck and Jack off.??  Someone in the family would notice, don't you think.?

Really, look at where he was found, he wanted sex of any kind he could have found it for $25.00.  Sort of like when one lifts weights one needs a spotter to insure safety.

Was this man MURDERED?

They found him naked with a cord tied around his neck hanging from the curtain rods of his hotel.

The news reports said he also had something tied around his genitals.

And this is the fault of the film company, how?


Now I could she her filing a suit against his therapist, if he had one, as the therapy obviously wasn't working. 



I know I can be really naive about some stuff....but having a rope around my throat during sex would be a terrifying nightmare, not a turn on.
