David Carradine's Family 'disturbed' By Photo
Family members of David Carradine are "profoundly disturbed" by the publication of a forensics photo that allegedly shows the late actor at the scene of his death and are threatening legal action against any media outlets that reprint any of the images. A grainy photo published Saturday on the cover of the tabloid Thai Rath shows a naked body suspended from a clothes bar in a hotel closet, with hands apparently bound together above the head and feet on the floor, the Associated Press reports. The face is blacked out and other areas are obscured. While the paper does not indicate the source of the image, Thai police say they believe it is a picture of Carradine's body taken by a forensics team that examined the Bangkok, Thailand hotel room where his body was discovered last week. A spokesperson for Carradine's family released a statement to "The Insider" saying that the family was "profoundly disturbed by the release in Thailand of photographs taken at the scene of David Carradine death." The statement adds: "The family wants it understood that, per (family) attorney Mark Geragos, any persons, publications or media outlets will be fully prosecuted for invasion of privacy and causing severe emotional distress if the photos are published." Geragos has also requested that the FBI investigate David's mysterious death and the family is seeking an independent autopsy by famed forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden to determine whether another person could have been involved. Results of an autopsy performed Friday in Bangkok were not expected for at least three weeks. Geragos says Carradine's body is being brought back to the U.S. this weekend for a second autopsy, which he believes could help shed light on whether foul play was involved in the 72-year-old "Kung Fu" star's death.[Read full story on The Insider]
