Carradine family takes action on probe, photos
LOS ANGELES -- David Carradine's family members, dissatisfied with Thai investigators and "profoundly disturbed" by the publication of a forensics photo in a Bangkok tabloid, are seeking help from the FBI and an independent pathologist and have threatened legal action against any media outlet that reprints images of the actor in death.
Keith Carradine has filed reports with the FBI that could lead to the agency's involvement, said Mark Geragos, attorney for the "Kung Fu" actor's half-brother. The FBI confirmed that Carradine's family had contacted the agency.
The family will also seek an independent autopsy by famed forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden to determine whether another person could have been involved, Geragos said. Results of an autopsy performed Friday in Bangkok were not expected for at least three weeks.
A chambermaid found Carradine's body Thursday at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Thai authorities said they have all but ruled out foul play, based on surveillance footage and interviews with hotel staff that indicate no one was in Carradine's room before he died, said Col. Somprasong Yenthuam, who is heading the investigation.
A grainy photo published on the Saturday cover of the tabloid Thai Rath shows a naked body suspended from a clothes bar in a hotel closet, hands apparently bound together above the head and feet on the floor. The face is blacked out and other areas are obscured.
The paper did not indicate the source of the image, but Thai police said they believed it was a picture of Carradine's body taken by a forensics team.
Keith Carradine said in a statement that the family was "profoundly disturbed by the release in Thailand of photographs taken at the scene of David Carradine's death," and threatened legal action against further distribution.
"The family wants it understood that, per attorney Mark Geragos, any persons, publications or media outlets will be fully prosecuted for invasion of privacy and causing severe emotional distress if the photos are published," the statement read.
The actor's family hopes the body will arrive in Los Angeles by Monday, Geragos said, but he did not give specifics.
Geragos said the family decided to intervene because of conflicting information about Carradine's death and a lack of direct information from Thai authorities.
"All we really know is not much more than what the public knows, and that's disturbing," Geragos said.

EXCLUSIVE: David Carradine Death Photo, Genitalia Missing
A Thai tabloid newspaper has published a photo of actor David Carradine's body where he was found hanging in a closet, leading the Hollywood star's family to announce they'll sue any U.S. publication that does likewise.
Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot his latest movie, Stretch, and had been known to join the film crew for dinner. The crew noticed his absence when going out to dinner on June 3, but assumed he was simply taking the night off. They found him dead on June 4th.
The forensic photo was censored in part, but it shows Carradine with his hands tied in front of him, hanging from a closet support bar with half of his naked body. Reports indicate the colour of the body would indicate the actor had been dead for some time.
According to the tabloid, "what this photo does not show is that part of Carradine's genitalia is missing - it was cut out." Thai police noted, "Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide but he may have died from masturbation."

Right, because "everyone knows" depressed, suicidal people hang themselves with their dick tied to their neck all the time.
And your Thai living(as opposed to your Thai dead?) brother-in-law knew it better than anyone because he hung out with Carradine so much, right?

The problem is Tim Tebow wasn't there. He could have killed all the fucking ninjas and simultaneously freed Carradine by circumcising him.
