“The cause of death was asphyxiation; an inability to breathe.” Dr. Baden told reporters. “Why that happened is now what we’re working on. He didn’t die of natural causes, and he didn’t die of suicide, so that leaves some kind of accidental death.”
After a maid discovered Mr. Carradine’s body in the Thailand hotel, local authorities said it would take at least a month to fully determine the cause of his death. Dr. Baden is now awaiting that news from Thai police and the hotel’s own security staff to rule out the chance that persons unknown may have caused David’s death. Once that is resolved the Doctor has said he will release the report – but that may still be some weeks away.
