David Carradine‘s family has asked the FBI to take over the investigation of the actor’s death in Bangkok, unsure it was caused by a sex act gone wrong. “They’ve done it because of the conflicting reports and the nature of those reports that have given the family great pause,” brother Keith Carradine‘s attorney Mark Geragos told Larry King Friday.
Carradine’s interest in bondage has been detailed by his former wives, but many questions remain unanswered—and the family wants the possibility of foul play to be investigated. “David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies…What that means is connected to martial arts and his interest in martial arts,” said Geragos. “And so there is a suspicion that if there was some foul play, that that may be the first area where they should look.”
Thai police say they will allow the FBI to assist their efforts to prove the cause of Carradine’s death, but only as observers. While the FBI has no international jurisdiction, they occasionally investigate American deaths on foreign soil when crime is suspected.
