And the plot thickens in the death of David Carradine. As if death by autoerotic asphyxiation isn’t bad enough, a producer friend of the late actor now claims that the “Kill Bill” star was murdered by gender-bender hookers.
Carradine’s naked body was found bound and hanging in a closet in a Bangkok, Thailand hotel room on June 4. Suicide was ruled out by an independent autopsy, but foul play has not.
Now David Winters, who produced three martial arts movies for Carradine, claims the actor fell victim to some of Bangkok’s Lady Boys and that police are trying to cover it up.
“David Carradine was murdered… I strongly believe Lady Boys are responsible. Lady Boys operate in pairs. David would not have stood a chance. They can be very brutal,” he told the American Globe.
Winters is now calling for Bangkok authorities to release hotel surveillance video, which may provide clues as to who Carradine spent his final hours with.
“I want to see those tapes. My suspicion is they’ve already been doctored,” he said. The Globe has hired a retired FBI agent to look into the case and he agrees with Winters’ murder theory.
Ted Gunderson said, “I believe he (Carradine) met two Lady Boys in the hotel bar… They are flirtatious, desperate for money and would have zeroed in on a celebrity like Carradine.”
Gunderson believes the hookers drugged Carradine, hanged him and then tried to stage a suicide.
Like Winters, Gunderson insists a reported mystery footprint on Carradine’s bed is the biggest clue in the case.
“One of the Lady Boys may have stepped behind him, looped a length of rope around Carradine’s neck and strangled him,” he said.
