David Carradine death photos published in Thailand to family's horror
David Carradine's distraught family is outraged over a Thai newspaper's publication of explicit photos taken of the actor's body hanging naked in a hotel closet.
The grisly image of the "Kill Bill" star ran on the front page of the paper, and another outlet published an autopsy shot of his body at a morgue.
"The family is outraged about the release of these photos," said Mark Geragos, an attorney who represents Keith Carradine, the actor's brother.
In an interview with RadarOnline.com, Geragos also threatened to sue if the photos are published in the United States.
The shocking front-page picture shows Carradine with his hands tied in front of him, hanging from the support bar in a closet. Tattoos on the lower half of his nude body also are visible.
Carradine, 72, who also starred in the 1970s television series "Kung Fu," was found dead on Thursday.
Carradine had a history of engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation, a sexual practice that often involves tying a rope around the neck, friends said.
He was in Bangkok filming his latest movie, "Stretch."



David Carradine's family threatens lawsuits over photos
As David Carradine's family awaited the arrival of his body from Thailand, they threatened to sue any media outlet that reprints images of the 72-year-old actor's death.
The announcement was made after a Bangkok tabloid on Saturday published a purported photo of the actor's death scene. The family also asked the FBI to help investigate his death. Carradine's body was found in a Bangkok hotel room on Thursday.
Mark Geragos, the lawyer for Carradine's brother Keith, says the family got involved because of conflicting information about the actor's death. Relatives are hoping his body arrives in the USA by today.

Keith Carradine said in a statement that his family was "profoundly disturbed" by the publication "of photographs taken at the scene." The statement continued, "Any persons, publications or media outlets will be fully prosecuted for invasion of privacy and causing severe emotional distress if the photos are published."

FIND MORE STORIES IN: Michael Baden
The family also wants famed forensic pathologist Michael Baden to perform a second autopsy to determine whether another person could have been involved. Results of an autopsy Friday in Thailand were not expected for three weeks, the Associated Press reported.

In one of his last performances, Carradine appears on Fox's Mental Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
