Martial arts actor kills self during dangerous ‘jerking off in a cupboard’ stunt

The family of martial arts icon David Carradine, whose body was discovered hanging from a rope attached to his neck and genitals, say he was killed by a secret society of martial arts assassins.

Read more background from Associated Press.


Police believe that Mr Carradine died attempting autoerotic asphyxiation. The idea behind the practice is that cutting oxygen to the brain heightens the sensation of orgasm. At last: an answer for those people who thought jerking off wasn’t enjoyable enough.

The Carradine family have appealed to witnesses to come forward. They are also selling a wardrobe on ebay. Buy it now for $45.

News of the strange death came as a terrible shock for the family, who had assumed he’d died at the end of Kill Bill 2.
Industry insiders say that most martial arts actors who want to jerk off while strangling themselves have the sense to use a stunt double.

On a personal note, if your correspondent is ever found dead with ropes around my penis and neck, he swears it was a secret society of kung fu ninjas.

David Carradine will be best remembered for his work with Tarantino, his role in the cult classic Kung Fu, and that time he killed himself while jerking off.
