David Carradine’s Death: Sex Act Or Suicide?
Today’s legal term of the day is “assumption of the risk.”
This term comes to mind while examining reports that David Carradine may have died while engaging in “autoerotic asphyxiation” — a practice whereby a person intentionally cuts off oxygen to the brain for the purpose of sexual arousal.
If true, this rules out foul play (well, kinda) and suicide. While anyone who engages in this behavior certainly assumes the risk of death, it doesn’t mean he intended to die. Popsquire is sending lots of warm wishes and condolences to Carradine’s family and fans.
PS: Yes, INXS fans, this may totally be a Michael Hutchence situation.
