What was the name of the Thai newspaper that published the David Carradine death photo?
The family of dead Kill Bill and 70’s television series Kung Fu star David Carradine have reacted angrily to photographs of the dead actor being published in the Thai Rath newspaper in Bangkok. Reportedly the photos on the cover and inside of the Saturday issue of the vernacular Thai Rath tabloid show the actor’s body in the Thai hotel room where he died. An angry Keith Carradine, David Carradine’s half-brother, threatened legal action against any “invasions of privacy”.

The pictures published on the Saturday cover of the newspaper Thai Rath shows a naked body of Carradine suspended from a clothes bar in a suite closet. The hands apparently bound together above the head and feet on the floor. While the face is blacked out, other more explicit parts of the picture are censored. And, the relatives of late Carradine do like any part of it. Sources: http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/entertainment/thai-rath-publishes-disturbing-photographs-of-david-carradine_100202043.
