    Why Investigate David Caradine's Death

     

    I want to start by saying that the death of David Caradine is a tragedy, but why are there so many calls to hold an investegation and that there is a conspiracy going on.  He died while trying to Autoerotic Asphyxiate himself.  I have never experimented with this, but some of my friends have.  You can use a belt or a scarf and cut off the circulation to your brain, or testicles, while masterbating.  It is supposed to heighten the experience.  Since he was found hanging in a closet with a nylon cord tied from the clothes bar to his neck from his neck to his hand and from his hand to his genital area (a classic way to masterbate this way) it makes perfect sense that his death was merely an accident, this does NOT make him a pervert.  He merely liked to masterbate this way, and there is no reason to judge him or to drag his name through the mud.  These type of deaths occur 8-12 times a year, in fact my first encounter with this was as a Freshman at West Virginia University where an R.A. hung himself in the EXACT same way, only with a belt instead of a nylon cord.  But other than that the method of death was the same.  So I would think that we could all use some common sense and just move on, and mourn the man.
