Ongoing attempts by Hollywood star David Carradine's relatives to link his death to secret kung fu sects might have been intended to protect the late actor's name, a Thai official said yesterday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Carradine's reputation could be hurt if an official investigation concluded he died of a sex game that went wrong.
"This is a big star. He is famous worldwide," the official said.
Carradine, 72, was found dead at a Bangkok hotel earlier this month. Reports suggest he might have accidentally killed himself during an attempted auto-erotic asphyxiation.
However, his family has lately suggested he might have been murdered for his investigation into deadly underground martial arts organisations.
His ex-wife Marina Anderson, has disputed the suggestion, telling the New York Post, "If he was involved in secret societies, it was a secret that even I didn't know about."
In divorce papers, Anderson claims Carradine regularly pestered her to take part in "deviant" sex games during their marriage.
In the documents, she cites her refusal to agree to his demands for "deviant sexual behaviour which was potentially deadly" as the reason for their split.
Carradine married Anderson, an actress, in the mid-1990s. They split up in 2001 after six years together.
Meanwhile, an informed source yesterday revealed the murder theory for Carradine's case sounded impossible.
"He stayed at a five-star hotel and a security guard looked after him until he entered his suite on the night of June 3. Keycard records showed no one else entered his room after that. It was the next morning that a maid went inside to do her job and found his body," the source said.
Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot a film.
