David Carradine: U.S. Investigation Begins

Chairman, Department of Forensic Sciences and Professor of Forensic Science, John Jay College of Criminal Justice Monday, June 8, 2009; 2:00 PM
Police in Thailand said Monday that they would welcome the FBI's assistance in investigating the death of American actor David Carradine, but only as observers in the high-profile case. Carradine's naked body was discovered last Thursday morning in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially suspected his death was a suicide, but have since said it may have been accidental suffocation or heart failure after revealing he was found with a rope tied around his wrist, neck and genitals.
Lawrence Kobilinsky, professor and chairman of the Department of Forensic Sciences at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, was online Monday, June 8, at 2 p.m. ET to discuss how to differentiate between accident and suicide as manner of death, what can be determined by performing an autopsy and the issue of autoerotic asphyxiation.
