Thai Rath

Thai Rath shows a naked body suspended from a clothes bar in a hotel closet, hands apparently bound together above the head and feet on the floor. The face is blacked out and other areas obscured. Keith Carradine said in a statement the family were "profoundly disturbed by the release in Thailand of photographs taken at the scene of David Carradine's death", and threatened legal action against further distribution.
A chambermaid found Carradine's body on Thursday at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Thai authorities said they'd all but ruled out foul play, based on surveillance footage and interviews with hotel staff. The family would also seek an independent autopsy by famed forensic pathologist Dr Michael Baden to determine if another person could have been involved.
The family were "profoundly disturbed" by publication in a Bangkok tabloid of a forensics photo of Carradine. Keith Carradine had filed reports with the FBI that could lead to its involvement, said Mark Geragos, attorney for the Kung Fu star's half-brother. The FBI confirmed the family had contacted the agency.

Carradine hanging photo

David Carradine's hanging photo is more about finding the meaning to life where it won't be found. The search for the hanging photos sits atop Google Trends implying that not a few folk are looking for something that they aren't likely to find where they are searching. The photo is said (I haven't seen it, don't want to) to show Carradine with his hands tied in front of him, hanging from the support bar in a closet.
Carradine was found hanging in his luxury hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand. It was also said that Carradine was in Bangkok looking for more 'meaning to life.' His death was at first called a suicide. However, Thai police are now calling it an accidental suffocation after they discovered a rope around Carradine's genitals: There is speculation that the 72-year-old actor may have been engaged in a dangerous form of sex play known as auto-erotic asphyxiation - temporarily cutting off the supply of oxygen to the brain to heighten the effects of a sexual climax.

French Open men's final 2009

The French Open men's final 2009 match between #2 Roger Federer and #23 Robin Soderling is set to start in about a half an hour. Coverage starts at 9:00 a.m. EST on NBC. It's been a great tournament so far with some amazing upsets and big comebacks. Especially for Soderling who knocked off #1 Rafael Nadal in the fourth round. Nadal was considered an automatic for the finals since he had won the last four French Open tournaments but Soderling was able to eliminate him in four sets.
Federer on the other hand is no surprise. He was expected to make it far into the tourney and challenge for the title. However in order to get to the finals he had to make a couple incredible comebacks. In the fourth round he was down two sets to none before he clawed his way back to win three straight sets and advance to the quarterfinals. In the semifinals he got in a hole again, digging himself a deficit of two sets to one against #5 Juan Martin Del Potro. Again he was able to show some resolve and win two straight sets to advance to the finals.
It sets up to be a great match-up for the championship. I am flipping back and forth on who I want to see win. Federer on one hand has never won the French Open and this would complete his career Grand Slam. But I always like to see the underdog win, and it would be great to see Soderling win over the #2 ranked player after already beating the #1 ranked player. I think I'll be rooting for Soderling.
