Carradine’s ex-wife reveals actor’s ‘kinky moments’

LOS ANGELES - An ex-wife of David Carradine has revealed that the late actor liked to tie himself up and enjoyed his kinky moments.

Gail Jensen made the comments in an interview with radaronline.com just days after the actor, 72, was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room amid speculation that he hanged himself accidentally when a bizarre sexual practice known as autoerotic asphyxiation went fatally wrong.

“He had his kinky moments,” Jensen said, though she insisted that she had never known him to indulge in the potentially deadly practice that ultimately killed him.

However she did say that she’d often discover her husband nearly naked and bound at the wrists.

“He told me it was for meditation because of all the pressure on his life and things, so he’d tie himself up and relax, and I mean, I didn’t think it was a horrible thing, but to me, it was a little weird,” she said.

Her comments came amid reports that a former New York City coroner would conduct an autopsy of Carradine’s body in Los Angeles to ascertain the details of the death. Thai authorities have said it would be weeks until the results of their investigation are available.
