OMG...

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

They aren't sure it was suicide...they aren't ruling anything out. Mysterious circumstances.

I read about that also today, sad. sad. Whatever happened.

Somebody may have really wanted to Kill Bill.

Now see, I think it is a TAD early for the jokes.

(But I admit I wanted to say something similar, but figured it was TOO EARLY for that.)

Did you see the update? The latest theory is that it wasn't suicide.

That kind of accident at 72 years old...

Yeah I read that too - Michael Hutchence from INX died in similar circumstances.

Well its not much consolation but at least he died doing something he enjoyed.

I don't know about THAT...unless he enjoyed having his genitals tied up. I just read that foul play is now very much suspected. There was a yellow rope tied around his neck and a black rope tied around his genitals. That's not suicide or accidental in my book.

Thats what they are suggesting though - that it was a kinky thing gone wrong. As in the case of accidental death by autoerotic asphyxiation (official verdict was suicide) of Michael Hutchence in a hotel room in Sydney, Australia in 1997.

I guess when they give the final verdict whether it be accidental-death, suicide or foul play we'll have to accept what they say however distasteful it might be.

Holy cow...hadn't thought of it that way. I hope this doesn't tarnish his career.

There's no two ways about it - not being alive is going to negatively effect his ability to work in the future. A good spin doctor can do amazing things, but there are limits.

Very funny. I meant having an autoerotic asphyxiation reputation might tarnish his PAST career...not being dead will affect his resume, there justin

He'll be immortalised as a VActor one day and then I guess it might...

Michael Crichton (sadly also gone too soon) popularized "gaspers" in RED SUN RISING with Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery investigating bizarre death in a high rise. Who knows...

kinda like mitch hedberg dying of "heart failure". ok, his heart failed. but very likely because of his drug use...

people do things and people die. that shouldnt have any effect on what they did before that point.

Tell that to Bob Crane's family & fans.

Why? What Colonel Hogan did something that tarnished his career?

i dont get it. how does this NOT apply to bob crane?

Bob Crane was known in the media and throughout Hollywood as a deviant after the crazy sexual circumstances surrounding his death. It DID tarnished his career. Did you ever see any re-runs of Hogans Heros after that?? No. THAT'S how it applies to Bob Crane.

Yes I am aware that you realize people are unable to obtain employment after they become deceased. I was just having fun. I tend to think of career as involving work, while what happened effects Mr. Carradine's legacy. But really I was just playing.

Yes it's sad that he is gone. But the guy was 72, not 28. If you're that age and still waxing the dolphin, life could be worse IMHO. I'm feel sorry for the family having to live under the memory of his going out in a less-than-dignified fashion. But lets keep in mind that this is someone who lived a full, interesting life. If anything, maybe a bit too interesting at the end there. My hat is off to him.

On the other hand, he might have died a sort of hero. His family lawyer claims he might have been killed by "a secret sect of kung fu assassins." Maybe the same ones that got Michael Hutchence.
