The forensics expert hired by David Carradine's family has concluded that the "Kung Fu" actor did not commit suicide, but said that more information was needed from Thai investigators before the cause of death could be determined.
Carradine's brothers, Keith and Robert Carradine, each read part of a prepared statement to reporters from The Associated Press at a Los Angeles hotel Thursday morning. In their first appearance since their older brother was found hanging in a Bangkok hotel room closet last week, they thanked supporters and asked for privacy.
"This is a devastating loss for our family and we greatly appreciate the compassion pouring in from all over the world," Keith Carradine said.
They also released a statement by Dr. Michael Baden of New York that indicated a second autopsy determined Carradine didn't kill himself.
Thai police initially said they suspected Carradine's death was a suicide, but later conceded it could have been accidental. Their description - that the actor's body was found nude, with ropes around his neck, wrist and genitals - fueled speculation that he was killed while engaging in a dangerous sex practice called auto-erotic asphyxiation.
