"Carradine was found with a rope 'tied around his...'"

Yes, yes, we know.

Glad to know he wasn't suicidal.

ADDED: Be careful, guys!
Officially, more than 500 young men (they [are] almost all under 30) die in America each year from AEA related accidents. The real number is thought to be much higher given the unwillingness of some parents to disclose the graphic nature of their son's death. Apparently, some parents would prefer people to think their son was suicidal rather than sexually adventurous....

Chances are that every guy they cut down with his fist around his dick thought he had devised a "safe" way to do this. And not all victims are dim bulbs whose deaths served the interests of progressive evolution. Some smart guys have been found with their thickened tongues lolling from their mouths, including (reputedly) Michael Hutchence, front-man for the rock group INXS, cult cartoonist Vaughn Bode and Stephan Milligan, a British Member of Parliament. Likewise not all deaths are the result of stupidity or unseen failures in the fail-safe mechanism. Suffocation and orgasm in combination can place an unbearable strain on the heart.
I've long deplored that awful death cliché: "He died doing what he loved." But here, where it really applies, people are probably not going to say it.

David Carradine, found dead in Thailand.

At the age of 72.

I loved him in the 1960s TV show "Shane":



And, much more recently, in the wonderful Taratino movie "Kill Bill":



What a face! What presence! Beautiful.

Sad.
