deathwatch 2009

David Carradine takes his last bow...
Found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok.
Time to go watch a Kung Fu marathon. Hell, Kill Bill.

Too soon, too soon. :/

	Damnit, duplicate post. :( t_boy 2009-06-04 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	Aw, crap. Agh. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Crap, I'm sorry. I forgot completely about unfunnybusiness, as I'm never over there. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	...Just checking, but why is that in unfunnybusiness? Is there wank? I'm sure the mods won't mind (they allow a lot of stuff there) but it seems to be a weird post to make per the original comm concept. (deathwatch would have better, except it's there too.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Damnit, duplicate post. :( t_boy 2009-06-04 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Well, it isn't funny... Yeah, I got nothing. To be honest I wasn't sure where it was going to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I mean, it was probably suicide, but how is 72 "too soon"? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	(Anonymous) 2009-06-04 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	From my experience with family members, it is. One grandma's disgustingly healthy at 99, and another's just crested 95. Grandfathers died in their 80s. (I really hope I inherit those genes) People live longer nowadays, so the thought of Carradine dying in his 70s is a surprise. :( (Reply to this)(Parent)

	He was still working. If someone's active and lively, I think it's too soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	All death is too soon? We'd all be immortal if we'd just stop dying prematurely. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The BBC article has been changed from saying he was found with a rope around his neck and genitals to around his neck and "other parts of his body." I hate to be indiscreet, but this isn't sounding like suicide to me. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	atalantapendrag 2009-06-04 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, my money's on autoerotic asphyxiation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barankhy 2009-06-04 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	The 'found in a wardrobe' doesn't sound so auto- speculates indiscreetly (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	erototoxin 2009-06-04 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	I've also seen it as "closet", which makes sense what with the closet bar and stuff. If he was closed up in a wardrobe, the maid might not have found him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barankhy 2009-06-04 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	True, I hadn't considered that. My knowledge of obscure sexual practices is failing D: (Reply to this)(Parent)

	erototoxin 2009-06-04 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	With those details, that seems pretty obvious, yeah. What a shame. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	xturtle 2009-06-04 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	I think it'd be a bigger shame to be unfairly called a suicide, but apparently I'm in the minority in thinking accidental death during sex act to be less damaging than suicide in an obit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	come_love_sleep 2009-06-04 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	I agree with you. One implies clumsiness and it's tragic, but suicide is a lot more...sad. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	erototoxin 2009-06-04 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not saying "shameful", I'm saying it's a shame when someone dies from any accident. He was happy, he was working on a movie - he had things he wanted to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	xturtle 2009-06-04 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	I got your meaning, and was just adding comment on the changing of the wording -- sorry!!! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	_goblin_ 2009-06-04 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	I think labelling it suicide would be a heck of a lot less embarrassing for his family, given the amount of press attention auto-erotic asphyxiation would get. And it makes no difference to Mr. Carradine himself, at this point. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	wankprophet 2009-06-04 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	I blame the morality police and the thinning numbers of good Thai hookers. Seriously, how can one go the auto-asphyxiation route in a country full of Thai hookers? It's like dying of an aspirin overdose in a crack den. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	xturtle 2009-06-04 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Totally glad I finished my beverage before checking email. How hilariously apt! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It's okay for you to have "feelings," but be careful not to go overboard with them. It'll all end in tears, mark my words. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	t_boy 2009-06-05 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Doesn't it always? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Goddammit. This is what I get for being out of touch at a campsite for three days. (Reply to this)
