RIP David Carradine



'For all life is precious
Nor can any be replaced.'

UPDATE: 6/5/09

Given what sketchy details there were yesterday, I did not believe the suicide thesis, and I had a good idea what had happened. Now suicide seems to have been discarded in favour of auto-erotic misadventure, as the British courts term it. I'm so sorry he died, but perhaps his death will help educate others that this does, indeed happen. For some families, the stigma of death by auto-erotic asphyxiation is greater than that of suicide. MSNBC had an excellent look at the subject as a tie-in to reports of Carradine's death.
