Mystery remained Friday over the death of American cult actor David Carradine, best known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" and whose naked body was found in a hotel closet in the Thai capital.

Police initially suspected suicide but now believe he may have died from accidental suffocation after finding a rope tied to his neck and genitals.

Details.

The family of David Carradine is asking a private forensics expert and the FBI to help investigate the "Kung Fu" actor's death, attorney Mark Geragos said Saturday, the same day Thai police said surveillance footage indicated no one had entered his hotel room before he died.

Details.

The forensics expert hired by David Carradine's family has concluded that the "Kung Fu" actor did not commit suicide, but said that more information was needed from Thai investigators before the cause of death could be determined.

...It's been a long week. My first thought was "who was stupid enough to hug a bear?"

The article about the power tool injury is hilarity itelf. It didn't contain a picture of the contraption, and I have been unable to confirm if the construction or usage of said homemade item was accompanied by a banjo soundtrack.

Although there are many frightening aspects to this article, I suppose I was most astonished by the use of the sabre saw blade which the mystery attachment was attached to. Who says there is a limit to American ingenuity?

I'm thinking there was probably some sherry involved in the thought process that led these mental giants to not only think this up, but to have the gumption to try it.

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. -- Some sexual experimentation landed a southern Maryland woman in a hospital with injuries tough to imagine and even more difficult to forget.

Maryland State Police airlifted the 27-year-old woman to Prince George's County Hospital Center early Sunday morning after she was injured in an incident involving a sex toy attached to a saber saw blade, TheBayNet.com first reported.

The man who called 911 about the incident admitted attaching the sex toy to the saw and then using the high-powered, homemade device on his partner, according to the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office.
