Hundreds Honor Carradine

David Carradine

Actor David Carradine was laid to rest yesterday at the Forrest Lawn Cemetary in L.A. The funeral lasted for more than two hours and was attended by more than 400 mourners, including Lucy Liu, Tom Selleck, Daryl Hannah, and Jane Seymour.

Carradine’s brothers Bruce and Keith were also in attendance.

A statement released last week by a private pathologist has ruled out suicide as the cause of death. Thai authorities continue to investigate.

It still makes me sad. Listening to the interview Quentin Tarrantino gave to Larry King just a few days after Carradine passed away, I couldn’t help but agree with Tarrantino’s assesment that Carradine was one of those “mad geniuses” of Hollywood. Akin to Christopher Walkin or Dennis Hopper, he was someone so over-the-top and unique that he made any role he played instantly entertaining, regardless of whether or not the film or show itself was crap or quality.

Rest in peace, grasshopper.

  • “Thai authorities continue to investigate.” Don’t act like you don’t know that the guy was a freak that died with a rope around his neck and another around his penis. I guess that would be the “mad” part about him.

  • If the theory of his death is true, he was a sexual pervert and knew the risk of this kind of crazy ass behavior. People with those kinds of sexual fetishes are usually into other strange and dangerous kinds of sexual behaviors. If you’re willing to hang yourself so you can bust a nut, you need help. I don’t feel sorry for him, he knew better.

    • Yourlogic is incomprehensible. So when a person gets into a car, they should know that it’s unsafe too, and if they die in an accident, it’s their fault? too bad so sad?

      • Are you comparing driving a vehicle with autoerotic asphyxiation? Now that is an fantastic analogy.
