FBI to aid in Carradine probe

THAI police have said that they would welcome the FBI’s assistance in investigating the death of American actor David Carradine, but only as observers in the high-profile case.

Carradine’s naked body was discovered last Thursday morning in his luxury suite at Bangkok’s Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially suspected his death was a suicide, but have since said it may have been accidental suffocation or heart failure after revealing he was found with a rope tied around his wrist, neck and genitals.
