There's more disturbing news about David Carradine. The original story was bad enough. That was that the actor was found hanged in his Thailand hotel room. Soon new details emerged - that the actor was naked, that his hands were tied, and that he had a rope around his genitals. Though the actor had a history of suicidal behaviour, this was quickly beginning to look like a sex stunt gone wrong.Now people close to the late actor disputed suicide. They pointed out that those days were long behind him. They also disputed the sex stunt theory. They pointed out hat his hands were bound behind him. So it's unlikely that he did this to himself. Thailand has a bad reputation for foul play with foreigners. Wealthy tourists can get themselves robbed or blackmailed without too much trouble. As one American businessman out it in an online interview "Don't let anyone get too close to your drink". So maybe Carradine had some company when he died, and the Thai authorities want o cover it up to protect the tourist trade.
However new details are starting to confirm that Carradine had a kinky side. According to divorce documents filed by ex wife Marina Anderson, Carradine was into sex behaviour that was potentially self destructive. The type of sexual activity wasn't spelled out in the papers, but they did reveal that Marina had accused Carradine of incest with a close family member. According to her both Carradine and his relative admitted it, but Carradine was not interested in getting treatment.
The plot thickens. It seems like you can't have a suspicious death these days without Scientology being some how tied into it. Sure enough Carradine's current wife Ann Bierman, and two of his children: daughters Sienna and Calista, are Scientologists. Bierman is in fact an OT 5, who claims that the church has made her drug free.
As for Carradine himself, he denied being officially a member, but was an admitted admirer of the movement. He was also involved. His band the Soul Dogs performed at the Scientology Celebrity Center. He participated in a Scientology 'Christmas' parade were he rode a float. He presetned at the John Travolta movie Bolt, and with Scientologist Jason Lee at the annual L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future contest.
Now I don't think that you can pin this on Scientology. Carradine's unfortunate death may be nothing more than it is, tragic. However it is bringing to light some new information about the actor. Enough information to begin reshaping our image of him.
