Media Credit: AP David Carradine was very well known for his role in Kung Fu movies.

According a private pathologist, who conducted a second autopsy on David Carradine’s body, the actor died of asphyxia.

The results include toxicology tests, an analysis of items found in Carradine’s room, security surveillance footage and a log of room entries from the hotel’s key card system.

It has not been determined whether Carradine’s death was accidental or homicidal.

Initially, police thought Carradine’s death was suicide, but later announced it could have been accidental.

Thai police found the actor’s body nude, with ropes around his neck, wrist and genitals. This fueled speculation that he was killed while engaging in a dangerous sex practice called autoerotic asphyxiaton. This still remains a possibility.
