It's still unclear what David Carradine was doing when he died, but a doctor knows what technically killed him.
Having already ruled out suicide by hanging, the private pathologist hired by Carradine's family to perform a second autopsy has determined that the 72-year-old actor died of asphyxiation.
How he came to asphyxiate is still anyone's guess.
Judging by the way Carradine was bound with his hands above his head, Dr. Michael Baden concluded that the Kill Bill villain did not take his own life and requested security footage and pass-key data from Carradine's hotel to further probe whether or not someone was in the room with the actor when he died.

Actually, the 'doctor' shortened the explanation. It's called "auto-erotic asphyxiation. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Yes he was strangled to death. It would be much easier for people to focus on some sort of kinky mishap because it makes juicier gossip. He supposedly has some weird habits, but the facts don't add up because he was currently working on a project. How much truth is allowed to slip out lies with the media handlers and those willing to stick up for Carradine.
Hopefully, the fodder and innuendos will just be put to rest so we can remember what a great actor he was. He will definitely be missed.
