David “Kungfu” Carradine found Dead in Thai hotel

Update June 6: New find indicates that Carradine’s cause of dead may not be a suicide. It could have been engaged in a dangerous form of sex play known as auto-erotic asphyxiation.

The practice involves temporarily cutting off the supply of oxygen to the brain to heighten the effects of a sexual climax.

Pornthip Rojanasunand, director of Thailand’s Central Institute of Forensic Science, said the circumstances suggested that Carradine may have died performing auto-erotic asphyxiation, which is said to result in a form of giddiness and euphoria _ similar to alcohol or drug intoxication _ that enhances the sexual experience.

“In some cases it can suggest murder, too. But sometimes when the victim is naked and in bondage, it can suggest that the victim is doing it to himself,” said Pornthip, who is considered the country’s top criminal forensics expert but who did not take part in the autopsy. “If you hang yourself by the neck, you don’t need so much pressure to kill yourself. Those who get highly sexually aroused tend to forget this fact.”

    Makanya dalam keadaan krisis apapun kalau kita bergantung kepada Allah, tentu tidak akan bergantung ke seutas tali seperti itu, dari sekarang kita serahkan ketawakalan kita hanya kepada Allah, malah selagi muda lebih baik kita lebih dahulu insyaf…..
