David Carradine's family believe that foul play may be involved in the actor's death, according to the latest reports.

Previous reports suggested that the actor – who was found 'hanging' in his Thai hotel room on Thursday - had either committed suicide or died after an auto-erotic asphyxiation session went tragically wrong.

CNN reported that when his body was discovered "a yellow nylon rope was tied around the actor's neck and a black rope was around his genitals."

Carradine's manager Chuck Binder tells TMZ that the Kill Bill star's hands were also tied behind his back.

Binder had previously told CNN: "I do not want to get in the middle of this whole investigation, but this guy said to me for sure there was foul play."
