It's confirmed! David Carradine's death ruled "Accidental Asphyxiation"

It was concluded that the cause of David Carradine's death several weeks ago was due to "accidental asphyxiation", or the inability to breathe.

The medical examiner stated he was certain of his findings, but admitted they still had not figure out why: "[W]hy that happened is still what we're working on."

However, Dr. Michael Baden knows he can rule out suicide as the cause of Carradine's death.

"He didn't die of natural causes, and he didn't die of suicidal causes from the nature of the ligatures around the body, so that leaves some kind of accidental death," says the doc.

Though the doctors findings did rule out suicide, they do not rule out the possibility that the asphyxiation could have been "auto erotic", or brought on by sexual activity.

We're sure, for the family, on some level, it's nice to have some more information on his passing and know that he didn't take his own life.

Still...it's kinda of stupid to die that way.
