Kill Bill Actor Carradine ‘Died Of Asphyxia’.

The private pathologist who examined the body of Kill Bill actor David Carradine said he so far agrees with claims the actor died of asphyxiation.

Dr Michael Baden said both his examination and the details he had received from Bangkok were consistent with such a death.

But the New York pathologist added he could not rule out murder after his study of the 72-year-old’s corpse.

* Carradine’s family requested a second post-mortem.

Thai authorities had said asphyxia had claimed the Kung Fu star, who was found dead in the Thai capital on June 4.

* David Carradine’s Hollywood star.

Dr Baden was requested to perform a second post-mortem on Carradine’s body at the family’s request.

He said he is waiting for some key details from Thai authorities before completing his findings. They include toxicology reports and analysis of items found in the actor’s hotel room.

It is hoped the information will help inform Dr Baden as to whether Carradine’s death was accidental or something more sinister.
