From reports it sounds like suicide.

Might have to watch Kill Bill tonight, although it rings a bit too true at the end.

Yup...wasn't just wrapped around his throat either.
That's some mighty Kung Fu considering he was closing in on his 80's.
I guess...When you get that age you do whatever it takes.....Obviously not without some risk....
His family and staff is saying it wasn't suicide.
Watching Kill Bill now, considering picking up Kung Fu:

Death by your own hand is suicide. The question should be.... was it intentional or not.

Quote from: Merriam-Webster
suicide: the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind
If it's not intentional, it's not a suicide - it's just an accident.
And where are all these Auto-Erotic asphyxiation rumors coming from?
fark.com? The reports I've read says he was found hanging in a closet.
He had a piece of yellow nylon cord around his throat and a black cord around his genitals when he was found hanging in the closet. The rumors are coming from the hotel staff and the Bangkok police as reported but any story updated in the last 12 hours.
I want to see what is in the toxicology report. There is no way he was not on some kind of drugs. Alone, naked and getting freaky with yourself in a closet. Erotica gone to far.
Took a page from Michael Hutchence's book and tried to add some adventure.

That won't do any good if someone used the "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique" on him. It's untraceable.
Hmmm, Bangkok is one of the last places you'd have to resort to auto-erotica. Still seems pretty invasive that we know this information at all.
