What a shocking revelation.
NightCrawler said:
Why pay a whore to strangle you when you can do it yourself? He'd probably been doing that for many many years. Even when having sex with his wives/girlfriends. There's just no real logic to what you're saying. "Ohhh what a cheapskate!!" Yeah right.
NightCrawler said:
I never did, personally. It just goes along with the rest of your personality. But I also don't think this half-assed try to justify your reaction is very convincing.

Is there actual evidence? Because, that's some atrocious slander right there.

If you believe his ex-wife... And there was (allegedly) an old mag that had naked pictures of Calista, taken by Carradine

David Carradine killed by ninjas?

As the headline above indicates, this is of course being understandably received like a bad joke:

If it turned out to be true though, I think we can all agree that would be a much cooler and more fitting way to have gone out.

Thanks captain obvious.
The reason why I say it's proof positive is that I take it to mean when they claim that his death couldn't have been suicide, that it was impossible for him to have died by his own actions alone. That means that someone else was involved, and even if he gave permission for choking or whatever, SOMEONE still did it. Accident or no accident, that still makes someone responsible. Sure, Carradine probably shares some of the responsibility for putting himself in that situation in the first place, but at least one other person probably is as well.
If a wife chokes her husband to death during foreplay, I'm pretty sure she's still going to go up for manslaughter.

I don't know about that. Suicide means suicide. I wouldn't read more than that into it at this point. And the family's statement remains very prudent anyway. Now, of course they're trying to say there was an elaborate conspiracy to kill him and all that, but does that sound very likely to you? Good luck to them on proving that one.
If you look back at past deaths related to AEA (Autoerotic Asphyxiation) society seems to find the locker-room humor acceptable and the family will have to deal with perpetual mockery. So I'd hazard to guess that they would spend a significant amount of time and money in order to put enough doubt in people's minds that this is how he went out. Also, if you can drum up some kind of weird faux ninja based conspiracy mystery then they might get movie and book deals and sell T-shirts and stuff, Whereas if he just let his game get out of hand, his legacy is shot for many.
Personally, I can think of a ton of worse ways to go out. Slipping into unconsciousness in a moment of Bliss is pretty high on the ways I'd chose to go before: dying in a retirement home at 94 after having to have an orderly wipe your butt for 6 years, or terminal cancer, or getting beat to death in a parking lot for your social security check, etc.
Cest La Vie, he lived a long productive, interesting life, and I'll still get a chuckle out of the Superman monologue at the end of Kill Bill every time I watch it.
