So now the story is poor David Carradine might not have killed himself. It may have been a heart attack/mishap during autoerotic asphyxiation.

Why do I know this?

What happened to the good old days of covering stuff like this up? God damn, the man deserves a little basic dignity. Does his family want this all over the news? Is this the way his children want to think about him?

There is absolutely no news value in reporting this story, except for prurient tale-telling, and reducing a decent guy to a joke for morning radio DJ's.

RIP, Mr. Carradine. And my heart goes out to his family.
