David Carradine's family asks for FBI probe

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – The family of US actor David Carradine, found dead this week in a Bangkok hotel room with rope tied around his neck and genitals, have called on the FBI to probe the death.
Mark Geragos, a lawyer for Carradine's brother, Keith, told a CNN talkshow on Friday that the actor's family had met Federal Bureau of Investigation officials to ask for help with the investigation.
"They're looking into it through the FBI and trying to get to the bottom of this," Geragos said.
Thai police suspect Carradine, 72, died from a sex act that went wrong after his body was discovered Thursday morning hanging from a wardrobe rail in a Bangkok hotel room, naked and with rope attached to his neck and testicles.
Geragos said the family rejected early reports that the actor had committed suicide.
"The family and Keith specifically doesn't for a minute think he was suicidal," he said.
Experts in Bangkok have said police may need up to four weeks to say conclusively how the star of the 1970s television series "Kung Fu" and the film hit "Kill Bill" died, as they wait on forensic tests.

"(It) will take three weeks to examine the toxicology tests and after that everybody concerned will meet to conclude the cause of death. It will take four weeks," said local police commander Colonel Somprasong Yenthaum.
Carradine had been in the Thai capital to shoot a film called "Stretch."
An initial autopsy report revealed that the actor died from a sudden lack of oxygen and his body showed no signs of struggle.
The actor's body was being repatriated on United Airlines flight 890 that left Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport at 6:48 am (2348 GMT Friday) bound for Los Angeles and New York via Tokyo, local media and officials said.
He was married five times, most recently in 2004, and was the father of two daughters.
